Why do your authors suggest that younger divorced people are less likely to remarry than older divorced people?
a. Because society has grown more accepting of cohabitation, so a second marriage may not feel necessary.
b. Because the once bitten, twice shy effect is more salient for younger people who have more to lose if a second marriage fails.
