Why do your authors suggest that younger divorced people are less likely to remarry than older divorced people?
a. Because society has grown more accepting of cohabitation, so a second marriage may not feel necessary.
b. Because the "once bitten, twice shy" effect is more salient for younger people who have more to lose if a second marriage fails.
c. Because divorce usually leaves people financially devastated, and younger people may not be financially able to remarry anytime soon.
d. Because young people usually do not have children when they divorce, and thus they are more "embracing" of their recaptured freedom after a divorce.
