“…Chile has one of the high levels of socioeconomic disparity among members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD; Gini index: 0.5 in † OECD, 2014). This has produced significant socioeconomic stratification and a high rate of social homogamy, i.e., marriage between members of the same socioeconomic level (e.g., Cartagena 2014;López-Ruiz, Esteve & Cabré 2008. Accordingly, it is plausible to suppose that Chilean women attempt to expose their wealth or attempt to appear wealthy to attract men with the same or superior socioeconomic status.…”

Self-perceived mate value influences intrasexual competitiveness attitudes in young people of both sexes

Individuals vary in their intrasexual competitiveness attitude, i.e., an important variable reflecting the potential threat or the extent to which one perceives other individuals of the same sex as social or mating rivals. In this study, we investigated the relationship between self-perceived mate value, a construct usually linked to intersexual selection, and intrasexual competitiveness attitude. We postulated that those psychological traits that increase mate value are related to psychological traits underlying intrasexual competitiveness attitude. The results obtained from a sample of 711 young participants of both sexes (M = 16.93 years ± SD = 0.86) indicated that mate value was positively related to intrasexual competitiveness attitude. Specifically, the subscales of Fear of Failure, Wealth, and Looks were positive predictors of intrasexual competitiveness attitude. Moreover, the Looks subscale was more relevant in determining intrasexual competitiveness attitude in women than in men. These three subscales were part of the same factorial structure that appears to be indicative of a self-promoting strategy based on the ostentation of traits through attitudes. As a conclusion, we argue that the individual differences in intrasexual competitiveness attitudes are associated with the differences in psychological features usually associated with intersexual selection.

“…Like several studies for Latin America and elsewhere (e.g. López-Ruiz, Esteve, & Cabré i Plá, 2008;Bouchet-Valat, 2015;Ribeiro & Silva, 2009;Solís, Pullum, & Bratter, 2007), I pool data for married and cohabiting couples and do not distinguish between types of union in the analysis.…”

Trends in Educational Assortative Mating in Brazil: 1960-2015

Using both census and survey data, this study analyzes educational assortative mating trends over half a century in Brazil. Odds of both overall and group-specific homogamy, as well as odds of crossing educational barriers, are estimated. Results suggest that, after four decades of continuous decline, overall homogamy increased in the first decade of this century. This rebound stems from a shift in the balance between long-standing opposite trends: increasing odds of intermarriage among lower educational levels and more homogamy at the top of the educational distribution. The findings are interpreted in the light of several social, economic and demographic changes that are relevant to union formation. Particularly, I argue that, starting from a population with very low levels of schooling, educational expansion could initially have only a limited effect on marriage markets. As the expansion reached upper secondary and higher education, it has strengthened the link between schooling and partner choice, thus fostering homogamy.

“…La hipótesis de la doble selección (winnowing hypothesis) parte de la premisa que la cohabitación funciona como un estado transicional entre la soltería y el matrimonio (similar a un matrimonio de prueba), y que en este proceso se hace una selección de potenciales parejas con mayor afinidad para continuar hacia el matrimonio, por lo que se espera que éste sea más homógamo que la unión libre. Por último, la hipótesis de la institucionalización predice que, a medida que la cohabitación se incrementa, las diferencias en los niveles de homogamia entre matrimonios y uniones libres se reducen (Esteve, McCaa y López, 2013;López-Ruiz, Esteve y Cabré, 2009;Schwartz, 2010b). En América Latina los resultados al respecto son mixtos.…”

El objetivo del artículo es presentar una revisión de la investigación realizada en América Latina sobre el emparejamiento selectivo por edad y por educación en las últimas dos décadas. Se identificó que existe una amplia literatura respecto al emparejamiento selectivo por educación en la región, mientras que aún es necesario explorar más elementos acerca del emparejamiento por edad. La cobertura temática de la investigación producida en torno al emparejamiento selectivo por educación es amplia, particularmente en la última década, y constituye una aportación significativa en la discusión global sobre el tema. Por otra parte, la revisión del análisis del emparejamiento selectivo por edad devela que aún quedan muchas líneas de investigación por explorar en esta temática, particularmente en un contexto como el latinoamericano, marcado por la desigualdad económica y de género, la incertidumbre en el mercado laboral, la heterogeneidad en el estadio de la transición demográfica, entre otras características.
