| Abstract: | This article employs multilevel models for 38 developed countries to test three hypotheses about societal differences. Data are used from the European and World Values Studies. Findings indicate that the divorced have a lower level of well-being than the married, but this differs notable across countries. The findings also indicate that the effect of divorce is weaker in countries where the family is strong and when divorce is more common. The divorce effect is stronger in countries that have stronger norms against divorce, only for religious persons. |
