It is shown that a generalization of the Hardy-Weinberg law of the proportions of genotypes of the kind given by Wright (1922) is maintained in equilibrium by a pattern of assortative mating suggested by Fisher (1918) and elaborated by Malécot (1939, 1948).

Assortative mating in affective disorders [PDF]
Journal of Affective Disorders, 1981 Assortative mating was determined in 170 spouses of patients with major affective illness (bipolar and unipolar). An increase in affective disorders was found in both wives of affected men and husbands of affected women. The data suggest that assortative mating is present in the familial transmission of affective disorder.

Assortative mating in monozygotic twins
Social Biology, 1990This study investigated assortative mating in a series of monozygotic twins in terms of anthropometric variables. Initially the twins were analyzed independent of each other, and the results showed fairly clear homogamy among female MZ twins and their spouses, after correcting for age.

Assortative mating and disassortative mating
1995Assortative mating occurs if the plants mating resemble each other more, with regard to some trait, than would be the case for a pair of random plants. It implies a positive phenotypic correlation for the trait involved between the mating plants. The genotypes of these plants for the loci controlling the expression for the trait will therefore tend to ...

Assortative mating and affective disorders
Journal of Affective Disorders, 1979Seventy-two spouses of subjects with recurrent primary affective disorders (PAD), were investigated for the presence of psychiatric disorders in their lives and in those of their first degree relatives, and compared with 71 spouses of non-psychiatrically ill control subjects.

Assortative mating in morningness–eveningness
International Journal of Psychology, 2011Individuals differ in their morningness–eveningness preference (circadian preference); that is, some prefer morning hours for intellectual and physical activities and others prefer late afternoon or evening hours. This has been viewed as an interesting facet of personality.

Assortative mating and the segregation variance
Theoretical Population Biology, 1983Feldman and Cavalli-Sforza (Theoret. Pop. Biol. (1979), 15, 276-307; (1981), 19, 370-377) have emphasized the role of the segregation variance in models of assortative mating for continuous characters. This note examines its behavior in the context of a general additive model.

Assortative mating and artificial selection
Heredity, 1973Theory is developed to assess the consequences of assortative mating immediately following truncation selection. Truncation selection is expected to generate negative correlations between homologous genes and between non-homologous genes in the same and different gametes.

Assortative mating and the genetic correlation
Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1982The effect of assortative mating on the genetic correlation between traits X and Y is considered. Assortation on trait X changes the magnitude of the genetic correlation but not its sign. There are two situations depending on the signs of the correlation between mates (ρ) and of the random mating genetic correlation (θ): 1) if sign (θ) = sign (ρ), then
