Abstract

Data from a large state-wide survey are used to examine the effect of divorce and remarriage on global happiness. A comparison of the remarried and the once-married shows that remarried men report themselves significantly more happy than men in intact first marriages, whereas remarried women are less happy than women in first marriages. These observed differences in global happiness are shown to be systematically related to diff'erences in levels of social integration, socioeconomic status, and general and marital satisfaction. It is suggested that differential recruitment into remarriage is an important contributor to the observed interaction.
