Abstract
The current patterns and trends in assortive mating among college students were examined in a replication and extension of Rogers & Havens' (1960) study of campus prestige and mate selection. Loglinear models of association were used to consider the effects of prestige, sex-ratio and propinquity on assortive mating. The tendency to date within group was found to have increased within the past 30 years. After adjusting for the over-time shifts in sex-ratio and propinquity, the pattern of assortive mating was found to be most consistent with interpretations of the increasing salience of prestige for assortive mating among college students.
