Heather McDermott Participation
When I asked if his experience with relationships fit the pattern of homogamy my respondent said that he believed that there was some homogamy in today's society. Although, he believed you could see it more in the area of social class based on an individual's financial situation. When asked about the education aspect he said that in his experience with his first wife that she had a four year degree when he was a working man. Therefore, he believed that there was more leeway when it came to education, that it wasn't as important as social class or race. With race he said that there were more interracial couples now; however, he believes that each race does tend to stick within their own groups. He thinks that you see this pattern of homogamy in our society today due to the fact that the people you choose to hang with are people who are more like yourself.
