Marriage Interview Directions
Your assignment this week is to interview two sets of married couples and find out what factors contributed to their choice of spouse. Try to take in account of couples of varied ages, racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic (SES) groups. You should structure your questions so that you obtain information on the following:
- the degree to which social factors contributed to the decision (i.e., age expectations, race, historical events, social class, religion, etc.), and
- the extent to which their marriage decision was the result of knowledgeable or default decision making (i.e., were alternatives explored, values clarified, a gut factor recognized, etc.?).
You need to develop a set of at least seven to ten questions to ask, conduct the interview and then write the responses out in an interview format. After conducting both sets of interviews you will then need to summarize your findings.
