Many studies about life satisfaction and mental and physical health suggest that married people fare better than singles in various areas. Briefly summarize these findings. Do you believe that causation is involved, or do you think that social selection is at work?
What will be an ideal response?
The response should mention that married people report greater sexual
satisfaction than singles and seem to have better psychological adjustment and physical
health. Answers will vary about whether the findings reflect causation or result from
social selection but should include the fact that all of this research is correlational so
causal conclusions cannot be drawn.
