Box 1096 Blindern, N-0317 Oslo, Norway Marital Dissolution and Subjective Distress: Panel Evidence [Elektronische Daten] [ARNE MASTEKAASA] High levels of subjective distress are commonly found among separated and divorced people.The present study uses three-wave panel data to examine possible causal explanations. In the years immediately preceding the marital dissolution, people experience higher levels of distress, and controlling for this clearly reduces the estimated effect of divorce or separation. However, controlling for distress measured 4-8 years earlier does not have a similar impact. This provides evidence against the hypothesis that the relationship between marital dissolution and subjective well-being is due to permanent personality differences between those who divorce and those who remain stably married. The effects of marital dissolution seem to be quite stable; they are equally strong after 4-8 years as after 0-4 years © Oxford University Press Articles nationallicence European Sociological Review Oxford University Press 11/2(1995-09), 173-185 0266-7215 11:2<173 1995 11 eursoj https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.esr.a036355 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.esr.a036355 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- MASTEKAASA ARNE Department of Sociology, University of Oslo, P.O.
