The Marriage Go-Round: an Exploratory Study of Multiple Marriage THE MARRIAGE GO-ROUND: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF MULTIPLE MARRIAGE By JAMIA ELAINE fOX Bachelor of Arts Cameron University Lawton, Oklahoma 1976 Master of Science Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1978 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate Colleg-e of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May, 1982 The.sis )92;;i., D F 79;_ 1YL CfYfJ· c2,, THE MARRIAGE GO-ROUND: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF MULTIPLE MARRIAGE Dean of the Graduate College ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS No graduate program is ever completed without the aid and support of others. I have many "significant others" who need to be recognized and thanked for their efforts on my behalf. Dave Cramer - for always being supportive no matter the obstacles and for being the only man I could ever live with. Ricky - for allowing Mom the time to study when you really wanted to play. Yes, my son, now you may have an Atari Game. Donna White - who first convinced me that it was possible and gave me the courage to try. t• Rebecca Bottoms and Anne Baldwin - for always standing by me with unrelenting support. My Mother - who first instilled in me the determination to succeed. My Father - who would have been proud. Process - for helping me get this dissertation put together right and for putting up with my episodes of craziness. Gene Acuff - for providing an academic environment which allowed for creativity and individualism. Phyllis Acuff - for always caring. Jan Fitzgerald - for running a smooth ship in a stormy sea. Jean Ryan - for always having a smile for everyone. Ed Webster - for having the quickest wit in the department and for brightening my days with humor. iii Judy Dobson and Marge Schweitzer - for providing me with a role model of professionalism in women. Stillwater Medical Center Emergency Room - for the funds to finan­ cially survive and for a staff which kept my feet on the ground and my head out of the abstract clouds. Ken Jacks, Max Portray, Lori Anderson, Carol Olson, Mike Hendricks and Paul Sharp - for making the process of being a graduate student a cohort activity. Jack Bynum - who initially recruited me and has always stressed my employability even as I stand unemployed. Larry Perkins - a kind and gentle man whose own true humanness provided me glimpses of the value of studying humanity. Thank you for sharing parts of yourself with me and for preventing the seeds of cyn­ acism from taking root by your own sensitive concern. You are a unique person, Larry, a true humanitarian and I consider it a privilege and an honor to call you friend. Chuck Edgley - for striving va 1 i antly throughout the years to create a thinker out of a nurse. You never once let me down or gave up on me. I owe you so much more than I will ever be able to repay. I pledge to you, in partial payment, a continuing friendship in years to come. Chuck, you are very special to me. Ken Kiser - for whom I simply do not have the words to thank for exceeding the role of major professor. You have been so much more than advisor and mentor. You, out of all others, have been my best friend. So, at the risk of being labeled sentimental, I quote from a favorite old movie of mine. This dissertation, Ken, is for you. To Sir \·tith Love. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

There has been an increase in cohab­ itation, communal fonnation, limitation of family size, dual career marriage, heightened stress on sexuality, and rapidly rising divorce rates to name but a few of the major changes. Each increase in the incidence of these categories has seen a polarization of response. The "me first" generation usually greets each rise with glee and proclaims that individuality is finally flourishing. The opposing camp sadly shakes its head and mutters phrases about the death of the American family. It is moot to argue whether these changes are good or bad, for the essential fact is they do exist and the best we can do is gain an under­ standing of each. phenomenon by intensive research. This has been the primary response of social scientists with one exception. Little sub­ stantive research has been undertaken into the field of remarriage and divorce. The classics

In this study, I present an analysis of the role played by attachment style (secure, dismissing, preoccupied and fearful, plus the dimensions of anxiety and avoidance) in the adaptation to divorce. Participants comprised divorced parents (N = 40) from a medium- sized city in the Basque Country. The results reveal a lower proportion of people with secure attachment in the sample group of divorcees. Attachment style and dependence (emotional and instrumental) are closely related. I have also found associations between measures that showed a poor adjustment to divorce and the preoccupied and fearful attachment styles. Adjustment is related to a dismissing attachment style and to the avoidance dimension. Multiple regression analysis confirmed that secure attachment and the avoidance dimension predict adjustment to divorce and positive affectivity while preoccupied attachment and the anxiety dimension predicted negative affectivity.

Harris June 2018 © 2018 Sarah A. Crabtree i Acknowledgements It is not lost on me that I am here because of the efforts and contributions of so many people. I recognize the privilege associated with entering a doctoral program, and while I do not want to minimize my own hard work, I cannot claim to have gotten here entirely on my own volition. I must acknowledge how fortunate I am to have had the support of so many people along the way. First, I want to thank my family. I am grateful for the ways you cheered me on, sent notes of encouragement, checked on how things were progressing, and offered unending patience and understanding through the entirety of this process. Thank you, as well, for affording me opportunities through of your financial support of my education. Having access to a quality education opened innumerable doors, which subsequently opened even more. It is hard to quantify what has come from all the ways you have invested in me and this process. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I also want to acknowledge several instrumental mentors who helped me envision a future I would not have dared dream for myself. Dr. Leta and Phil Frazier, Dr. Mary Jensen, Dr. Steve Sandage, Dr. Cate Lally, Dr. Carla Dahl, Tina Watson Wiens – thank you for imagining for and with me, for helping me find a home in my own skin, and for encouraging me to dream big.

Moran: How Second-Wave Feminism Forgot the Single Woman HOW SECOND-WAVE FEMINISM FORGOT THE SINGLE WOMAN Rachel F. Moran* I cannot imagine a feminist evolution leading to radicalchange in the private/politicalrealm of gender that is not rooted in the conviction that all women's lives are important, that the lives of men cannot be understoodby burying the lives of women; and that to make visible the full meaning of women's experience, to reinterpretknowledge in terms of that experience, is now the most important task of thinking.1 America has always been a very married country. From early colonial times until quite recently, rates of marriage in our nation have been high-higher in fact than in Britain and western Europe.2 Only in 1960 did this pattern begin to change as American men and women married later or perhaps not at all.3 Because of the dominance of marriage in this country, permanently single people-whether male or female-have been not just statistical oddities but social conundrums.
