Assortative mating and affective disorders

Journal of Affective Disorders, 1979
Seventy-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, 2011
Individuals 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 disassortative mating

1995
Assortative 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 artificial selection

Heredity, 1973
Theory 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 segregation variance

Theoretical Population Biology, 1983
Feldman 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 the genetic correlation

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1982
The 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

Assortative mating for a quantitative character

Journal of Mathematical Biology, 1982
Phenotypic assortative mating is investigated for a character determined by additive loci without dominance and a stochastically independent environment. Conditional-expectation arguments are used to calculate the equilibrium values of the phenotypic variance and the correlation between sundry relatives.

Assortative Mating and Inequality

2019
This paper studies the evolution of assortative mating based on the permanent income (the individual-specific component of income) in the U.S., its role in the increase in family income inequality, and the factors behind this evolution. I first document a remarkable trend in the assortative mating, as measured by the permanent-income correlation of ...
