“…Education and resources for clergy appear to be particularly important. Estimates suggest that 60–80% of first marriages and 30–40% of second marriages occur in churches (Giblin, 1994; Stanley, 2001). In light of these figures, it is not surprising that nearly half of our sample identified talking with clergy as a form of preparation.…”

Remarriage Preparation: Usage, Perceived Helpfulness, and Dyadic Adjustment

This study provides a contemporary evaluation of 10 different forms of remarriage preparation. Utilizing a subsample of 303 remarried couples from a larger study of newlyweds, we report usage of remarriage preparation and perceived helpfulness as well as differences in dyadic adjustment between respondents who did or did not prepare. Those who participated in some form of preparation generally found it helpful. The majority of those who did not prepare felt it was unnecessary. Differences in dyadic adjustment varied by the form of preparation. Implications for scholars, practitioners, and policy makers include the need for more research‐based materials that counter popular stepfamily myths as well as resources that can be made available to the public through mediums that are trusted and commonly accessed.

“…In previous studies employing the same measurement set-up [17,27,33], the 0.8 ppm systematic uncertainty in the calibration of the 1 GΩ resistor was by far the dominant contribution to the uncertainty budget. In this work, we introduce a revised uncertainty budget following a first-principles re-evaluation of the cryogenic current comparator (CCC) bridge used to calibrate the re- sistor [47]. In the revised uncertainty budget, the largest systematic term is 0.1 ppm, due to the 10 MΩ reference resistor used in the calibration, and the statistical uncertainty in the resistor calibration is also of order 0.1 ppm.…”

Thermal-Error Regime in High-Accuracy Gigahertz Single-Electron Pumping

Single-electron pumps based on semiconductor quantum dots are promising candidates for the emerging quantum standard of electrical current. They can transfer discrete charges with part-per-million (ppm) precision in nanosecond time scales. Here, we employ a metal-oxide-semiconductor silicon quantum dot to experimentally demonstrate high-accuracy gigahertz single-electron pumping in the regime where the number of electrons trapped in the dot is determined by the thermal distribution in the reservoir leads. In a measurement with traceability to primary voltage and resistance standards, the averaged pump current over the quantized plateau, driven by a 1-GHz sinusoidal wave in the absence of a magnetic field, is equal to the ideal value of ef within a measurement uncertainty as low as 0.27 ppm.

“…The goals of MAP were to improve participants' knowledge concerning marital relationships and to teach healthy patterns of interacting that are believed to lead to improved readiness and preparation for the transition to marriage. The curriculum was comprised of eight sessions, which focused on the following topics: (1) introduction to the program and administration of the pretest; (2) relationship history, the concept of marriage, and individual and couple expectations for marriage (Giblin, 1994); (3) family of origin (Bader et al, 1980;Giblin, 1994;; (4) communication and conflict resolution skills (Arcus, 1995;Bader et al, 1980;Karney & Bradbury, 1995;Markman & Hahlweg, 1993;Silliman & Schumm, 1989;Williams, 1992); (5) marital roles and expectations, division of labor, and power and control (Arcus, 1995;Bader et al, 1980;Bagarozzi & Bagarozzi, 1982;Giblin, 1994); (6) finances, sexuality, intimacy, and relationships with in-laws (Arcus, 1995;Bader et al, 1980;Bagarozzi & Bagarozzi, 1982;Williams, 1992); (7) similarities and differences in personalities and beliefs, expression of love and anger, holidays, rituals, and traditions Silliman & Schumm, 1989); and (8) conflict around wedding planning and the administration of the posttest (Bader et al, 1980). (See Appendix A for additional information about each session.…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a premarital educational program, with the secondary goal of determining if the structure (conjoint versus group) and the participants' gender influenced program effectiveness. Data were collected from 29 heterosexual couples. Couples were placed in one of three conditions:(1) premarital education in a group format, (2) premarital education as an individual couple, or (3) the comparison group (no premarital education). The goal of the 8-week intervention was to improve couples' readiness and preparation for marriage as measured by the PREP-M. The findings suggested that the educational program achieved its stated goal.
