"Using Wave 1 of the National Survey of Families and Households, this paper examines the psychological distress of never-married African American and white women aged 19-35; attention is given to the roles of education and social psychological factors, including attitudes toward marriage and mate selection preferences, in explaining race differences. Results reveal that African American women report higher distress than white women, and this relationship does not vary by education. The race difference in distress is largely accounted for by African Americans’ women's more positive view of marriage, particularly regarding the economic security it provides. In addition, the more favorable perceptions of marriage held by less educated never-married women of both race groups provide a partial explanation for their higher levels of distress, relative to their more educated peers.

there is a dis connect some where. why are so many black women with males who will never marry them?
why are there so many out of wedlock births?
why the attraction for the thug?
young black women have a reputation for not really caring about a man.
you guys don't need us remember?
