Biodemography and Social Biology, 1982
Two classic papers on assortative mating, by Sewall Wright (1921) and R. A. Fisher (1918), are reviewed. Assortative mating causes an increase in homozygosity and in the population variance. However, with multiple factors the increase in homozygosity is very slight, while the increase in variance is large.

Psychiatric Services, 2012
Psychosocial programs that introduce young people with psychosis to each other encourage bonding and, perhaps, marriage. By providing such programs, are we unwittingly promoting assortative mating, with ill effects for offspring? Or, on the other hand, are we ensuring better health for young people with psychosis and perhaps laying the groundwork for ...

Influences on assortative mating
Anthropologischer Anzeiger, 1987Age plays a considerable role in assortative mating. As regards this criterion we can distinguish a "rural, more traditional model" with high values of the coefficients of correlation, and an "urban model" with significantly lower values. Concerning eye and hair colour we find both these models as well as transitional forms.

On a vast range of variables, positive rather than negative AM has been found. The highest degree of similarity has been obtained for sociodemographic variables and attitudes, followed by moderate similarity for cognitive abilities, psychiatric disorders, antisocial and adverse behaviors, and the lowest for physical characteristics and personality ...

Advances in Applied Probability, 1975
Various attempts have been made to develop a theory of the genetical effects of assortative mating, using various models. The earliest and most famous is that of Fisher (1918). However, this has run into a difficulty in that his paper is far from easy to understand even despite the efforts of Kempthorne (1957) and Moran and Smith (1966) to simplify his

Annals of Human Genetics, 1976
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.
