“…Therefore, it seems unlikely that the association of the two variables declines appreciably in a birth cohort as it grows older, at least from the mid-twenties to age 40. Although differences in measurement error and in probable causal feedback from the dependent variable prevent very confident conclusions about the relative causal importance of the three independent variables, attractiveness does not seem to fare well in competition with education, and it seems little, if any more influential than fathers' occupational prestige, which shows up here, as in other studies (e.g., Glenn et al, 1974;Chase, 1975), as a weak predictor of husbands' occupational prestige.…”

“…This assumption is implicit in the relative dearth of work, until quite recently, on women's status attainment. Even this recent work considers mobility through marriage as well as through individual achievement (Tyree and Treas, 1974;Glenn et al, 1974). If boys and girls have different expectations about status attainment, with girls expecting to derive status from kinship relationships with men, then the father's status may be more salient for young women.…”

This article investigates sex differences in the accuracy of young adults' retrospective reports of parental status using Joreskog's general framework for the simultaneous covariance structure analysis of multiple populations. Results indicate that young women's reports of maternal education are significantly more reliable than are young men's reports and that the reliabilities of reports ofpaternal traits are similar for young men and women.

“…Romantic relationships potentially can evolve into marriage, and marriages are a means of maintaining or gaining social status (Burgess & Cottrell, 1939;Glenn, Ross, & Tully, 1974;Martin, 1970). Parents' approval of their grown children's romantic relationship may thus convey the parents' willingness to accept the partner into the family.…”

Using social capital theory, this study of 194 dating couples examined the connection between parents' approval of the dating relationship (reported by each couple member for his/her own parents and the partner's parents) and participants' relationship distress. The Actor-Partner-Interdependence Model within Structural Equation Modeling served as the data-analytic tool. Results showed that, in support of the theory, relationship approval from strong ties (one's own parents) and from weak ties (one's partner's parents) manifested themselves differently in romantic relationships. Specifically, both men's and women's perception of relationship approval from their own parents (strong ties) and from their partner's parents (weak ties) negatively predicted couple members' own relationship distress. Moreover, path coefficients between men's and women's strong ties and their own relationship distress were roughly twice as large as those between men's and women's weak ties and their relationship distress. Findings were less clear for the association between perceptions of relationship approval from one's own and one's partner's parents and the dating partners' relationship distress. The findings are discussed in light of prior research and theory on social capital.Keywords: actor-partner interdependence model, dyadic data analysis, parental relationship approval, romantic relationships, social capital theory Romantic relationships are an important aspect of individuals' development and socialization. Through romantic relationships, individuals learn intimacy and crucial interpersonal skills. Romantic relationships are also the precursor of marriage. Thus, it is not surprising that many studies have examined the web of factors and experiences related to romantic relationship quality and stability. Support for the relationship from one's social network is one of these factors. Network support has long been believed to have tremendous influence on romantic relationships (e.g
