Divorce initiation. The interview contained three items reflecting divorce
initiation: the person who most wanted the divorce, the person who
first raised the topic of divorce, and the person who filed for the divorce
(1 = the spouse, 2 = both equally, 3 = the respondent). The three items were
positively correlated and yielded similar results in analyses. We relied,
therefore, on the item referring to who wanted the divorce. This question
was included in the interview following the divorce.
