Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Maryland, College Park, 1999.

Much of the research on interracial marriage in the US focuses on why people enter such unions, or tends to look only at intermarriage between two groups, e.g., blacks and whites. This dissertation provides an overall picture of the prevalence of various types of interracial marriage in 1990 using Census data, as well as a profile of demographic, cultural, family and economic characteristics of the most prevalent interracial combinations. Then it investigates the relationship between these characteristics and the higher likelihood of divorce among interracial couples. Although intermarriages between each minority racial group and whites have particular characteristics which reflect the historical and social context in which these marriages were contracted, in general, interracial couples are better off socioeconomically than endogamous couples, especially endogamous couples of the minority racial group. Interracial couples are younger, more often childless, and less homogamous than endogamous couples on cultural variables: language difference and whether spouses were foreign born. While some characteristics typical of interracial couples predict that their marriages should be more stable, other characteristics raise their risk of divorce. With the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), I use life tables and event history analysis to show that interracial first marriages are 1.4 years shorter on average than endogamous first marriages, and that even after controlling for characteristics which predict divorce, interracial couples are about 50 percent more likely to divorce than endogamous couples. Using logistic regression and both waves of the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH), I explore whether factors such as connection with family members, community involvement, and the level of conflict in the marriage help to explain the gap in disruption rates between interracial and endogamous couples. Although these factors, along with demographic characteristics which predict divorce explain part of the differential between the two groups of couples, interracial couples are still significantly more likely to disrupt than endogamous couples even after controlling for these factors. This dissertation adds to the literature by providing an analysis of interracial marriage and divorce using recent, nationally representative data, as well as a profile of the typical characteristics of the most prevalent types of interracial marriages.
