Informing oneself on the marriage market before making a choice is problematic. The use of the market may, under identifiable conditions, undermine the intrinsic motivation needed for a successful partnership (see Chapter 5). Exploiting the opportunities presented by the marriage market tends to crowd out the internal values of trust and love on which modern marriages are based. Explicit exchange in a relationship may thus destroy the bonds on which marriage is built. Openly, or even furtively, evaluating the pros and cons of a prospective spouse in comparison to the alternatives available on the marriage market is strongly condemned in a romantic relationship.
207). There certainly is a ‘marriage market’ (social psychologists take this to be a matter of course). But the term is somewhat misleading if it is understood to mean that the participants have a large choice of partners they could marry. Rather, entry into the marriage market is characterized by considerable barriers, and the choice is strongly dominated by social and traditional factors. The marriage market is thus highly segmented and characterized not by vast choice possibilities but by high transaction costs shaping behaviour.
In these circumstances, individuals tend to resort to rule-guided behaviour. Under certain conditions, these routines lead to anomalies, such as the representativeness bias. The same applies when behaviour leading to anomalies is guided and sanctioned by tradition and norms. Institutions and free riding also need to be considered. Institutions are behavioural regularities, which can be employed to reduce the frequency and size of anomalies. Individual institutions exist, with whose help anomalies can be reduced.
