An Empirical Test of Sequence in Murstein's SVR Theory of Mate Selection.

Leigh, Geoffrey K.; And Others

Family Relations, v33 n2 p225-31 Apr 1984

Used Murstein's SVR (stimulus-value-role) theory to test the sequence of the value and role stages, and examined personal and couple readiness for marriage. Couples (N=88) who completed a premarital instrument were contacted by telephone one year later. Results provided little support for a sequence of value and role stages. (JAC)
