Abstract
Past research demonstrates hitched and cohabiting people are happier and revel in greater degrees of emotional wellbeing than solitary individuals. Nevertheless, almost all of this research hinges on data from intraracial—mostly white—couples, much less is well known concerning the psychological wellness outcomes of people in interracial partnerships. This research utilizes fixed-effects regression to look at depressive symptoms among those transitioning into intraracial and interracial relationships into the nationwide Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult wellness. Estimating models separately by sex and competition, our analyses reveal that although whites in same-race relationships benefit from the health that is psychological usually related to union formation, an even more complex pattern characterizes these benefits for nonwhites and people in interracial relationships. These findings claim that although Us citizens enter increasingly diverse intimate relationships, union development may not similarly gain all.
