Abstract:
The research examines the association between incarceration and relationship churning. Background: It is well known that incarceration gives rise to family instability, in the form of relationship dissolution and impaired relationship quality. Existing research does not consider the repercussions of incarceration for a common, yet understudied, form of family instability despite good reasons to expect that incarceration may destabilize relationships in this way. The research used data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (N = 4060) to examine the association between incarceration and relationship churning. This research finds that incarceration was positively associated with relationship churning, net of characteristics associated with selection into incarceration. Taken together, the findings suggest the liminal status induced by incarceration may facilitate liminality in family relationships.
Keywords:
