N2  - A factor-analytic study of the social characteristics of the states of the USA in 1980 identified seven clusters of social variables. The divorce rate was associated only with a cluster which appeared to measure social instability (high rates of suicide, interstate migration and alcohol consumption and low rates of church attendance). The prevalence of separated persons showed a different pattern of associations from the prevalance of divorced persons. © 1991 by The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
