Popis:	The differences in marriage role expectations between college students of divorced and intact families were investigated using the Marriage Role Expectation Inventory (MREI). The MREI (Dunn and DeBonis, 1979) measures desires for traditional versus companionship style of marital relationships. It was hypothesized that those participants from divorced families would expect a more companionship oriented marriage role while those from intact families would expect a more traditional marriage role. Participants included 100 male and female students enrolled in introductory courses at Loyola University in New Orleans. Significant gender by marital status interactions were found in total MREI scores, as well as all eight MREI subscores. Males with married parents were more companionship oriented than males with divorced parents. On the other hand, females with divorced parents were more companionship oriented, while females with married parents were more traditional oriented in their marriage role expectations.
