Bre Jordan is a freshman at Wesleyan University. She is a prospective English major, a developmental book editor, and VP of the Wesleyan Linguistics Club. She deeply enjoys doing research: answering questions and having meaningful conversations with both individuals and the broader literature. She first became interested in questions about marriage, relationships, and happiness during her AP Research project, “Analyzing the Effect of Social Constructs on the Martial and Partnerial Views and Norms of Generation Z.” Outside of academia, she loves reading speculative fiction, playing Spades with her friends, and her shy golden doodle, Giaco.
Abstract: This study examined the relationship between marital and cohabitory happiness and immigration status and connection to immigration, as determined by having grandparents born outside of the U.S. Data was drawn from the 2021 General Social Survey, a national sample of civilian, non-institutionalized adults in the U.S. Bivariate analysis found no significant relationship found between relational happiness and immigration status (r = -0.01186, p = 0.7824). However, an association between relational happiness, gender, and beliefs about extramarital sex persisted. Future research is needed to explore how relational happiness may develop over time and in conjunction with the acculturalization process.
