“…One of the central principles of mate selection involves the concept of homogamy, that is, that like attracts like or "birds of a feather flock together" (Brehm, 1992;Burgess & Wallin, 1953). Particularly important to our first hypothesis, in fact, is the observation that husbands and wives with similar personalities report greater marital happiness and satisfaction than do spouses with differing personalities (Antill, 1983;Caspi & Harbener, 1990;Meyer & Pepper, 1977;Skolnick, 1981), with the same being true with regard to attitudes (Hendrick, 1981).

In order to advance understanding of the phenomenon of coparenting, naturalistic observations of firstborn sons were undertaken when they were 15 months of age at a time when both parents were home and family life was demanding. Narrative records of coparenting events were scored to determine the frequency with which parents supported and undermined each other and to test two hypotheses pertaining to individual differences in coparenting: that greater differences between spouses in demographic factors, personality, styles of relatedness and child-rearing attitudes would forecast more unsupportive and less supportive coparenting; and that the adverse effects of such spousal differences would be amplified by high levels of family stress, as indexed by frequency and intensity of daily hassles. Both hypotheses received support and are discussed in turn.

ix x PREFACE ing student. It is our hope that this textbook will serve to facilitate the special learning experience that can occur when an instructor and students come together to examine the discipline and perspective that is feminist psychology.Many individuals have contributed to the fruition of the textbook. First we thank our eminent authors for taking time out to write the chapters. Second, we are most appreciative of the technical help of Carole Londoreé, Erika Qualls, Eleanor Gil, and Megan Schmidt. Third, we are grateful to Eliot Werner, our editor, for understanding the need for this text. Maryka BiaggioMichel Hersen PART I. HISTORICAL AND SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATIONSAs you will note from Chapter 1, an important tenet of the women's movement is that "the personal is political." As you will see from Chapters 2 and 3, the scholarly and scientific are also political! As you complete this section, ask yourself about the tangible ways in which this is true. SUMMARYThis chapter has provided an overview of the women's liberation movement of the 1960s and 1970s, from its emergence out of the New Left, to its maturation as a force influencing legislation, judicial rulings, attitudes about women and men, and public and private treatment of women. A liberal feminist ideology permeated the early years of the women's movement, but various other ideologies, including radical feminism, socialist feminism, and cultural feminism, emerged and led to splintering and challenging within the movement, and subsequently to further elucidation of the meanings of feminism. These various ideologies spurred the development of feminist scholarship. The women's movement and feminist psychologists challenged the discipline and profession of psychology to examine its views and practices with respect to women and other disenfranchised persons, and individuals as well as feminist organizations provided rallying points for those interested in advancing feminist views. Without a doubt, the women's movement in the United States has had far-reaching impact, and has played a key role in shaping attitudes and policies toward contemporary women.

“…Romance and passion remain an important part of many enduring relationships (Murstein, 1985;Skolnick, 1981;Traupmann, Eckels, & Hatfield, 1982). Companionate love partners depend on and trust each other, and they enjoy spending a lot of time together.…”

PrefaceHuman Development in Adulthood is designed as a comprehensive overview of adult development for students of psychology, sociology, and social work, as well as those planning to enter nursing and other health-related or humanservice professions. It is written so anyone who is interested in the topic can learn and benefit from reading the material. Concepts, theories, research findings, and practical implications of the information are all presented thoroughly and understandably. In addition to physical, cognitive, personality, social, and sexual development in adulthood, the book deals with gender and ethnic group differences and issues, love and marital relations, living conditions and economic problems, crime and war, and aging and death.This book is interdisciplinary, including concepts, theories, and research findings from biology, psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics, political science, and other disciplines. Emphasis is placed on the fact that human beings are similar in many ways, but that everyone is a unique entity with his or her own perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors. Each person of a particular age, sex, race, culture, and socioeconomic status is shaped somewhat differently by the interaction between biological, psychological, and social structures and events.A guiding theme of the book is that, rather than ending with childhood and adolescence, development and change continue across the life span.
