A Brief History

• The phenomena of equallyokedtarianism was
  clearly identified 1st in philosophy and then
  later in social science about the time of the
  emergence of the evolving population control
  (one or two children per couple) movement
  worldwide.
• The actual term equallyoked as a social
  phenomena (i.e., a social mores recognized as two
  of the same civil identities pairing up) showed
  up in 1700s, (China) again in 1800s
  (Sociocultural Anthropology in Africa), and in
  the 1900s American Sociology as reference
  couples for indices in the Clinical Social
  Sciences, i.e., Social Psychology research.1
• Translation of archaic languages were made in
  vague terms from the philosophiesuntil the
  1960s when it appears in international social
  scientific (social psychology) literature.

Online Studies

• Modern Dyadic Psychology -
• Internet Research Studies
• widespread in developing countries Asian and
  African countries, an estimated 7.9 of dyads
  are equally yoked or similar in civil
  identity
• Online Interviewing
• is increasing in many developed countries, 6.1
  of populations interviewed reported being the
  same of similar civil identities.
• www and the Free World Countries
• are creating more standardized quality
  questionaires for conducting Dyadic Psychology
  studies throughout international communities.

An Intro to SocPsy

• In Sociology, a dyad is a group of two people,
  the smallest possible social group.1
• An equally-yoked dyad refers to a male and
  female of identical civil identities.(a)
• Social psychology studies are dyadic
  relationships between two individuals of equal
  (i.e., or at least very similar) civil
  identities clinically describing such twosomes
  as each, ...the reference couple. (ibid)

Equallyokedtarians

• In just humanistic and philosophical terms
  Equallyokedtarianism is actually NOT better
  understood to be abstract perfectionism at all.
  If Equallyoked-tarianism were indeed believed
  by the proponents of it to be truly a sense of
  perfectionism philosophically and
  humanistically - it would be the very
  psychosocial focus of all world government
  endeavors, all futuristic religious sciences, and
  generally among the mass populations - for the
  preservation and advancement human ecology by
  actual mandatory human cloning. The truth is the
  diversity and variability of Equallyokedtarianism
  is so very, very, very vast the meticulous
  clinical biological, psychological, and
  social/cultural research study of it can be only
  expressed only in immense proportions as
  exponential and massive computations.1

• However, with respect for formal religion -
  religious salvation/ preservation of all
  humankind, Equallyokedtarianism may be the
  doctrine of irreducible biological and
  socio-cultural architectural social complexity -
  a truly well sought after - dyad of divine
  creation from God in heaven. Yet, as a modern/and
  up-to-date secular concept, Equallyoked-tarianism
  is certainly a most important and valuable
  judicial Waymark for marital unions subject to
  all fair and just contemporary social justice
  systems. Finally, in terms of it as an art and
  science, that is, Equallyokedtarianism is at
  least creative aesthetics at its very best and
  an absolute necessary for integrative social
  scientific clinical accuracy for true applied
  Social Psychology/and Social Psychiatry...

Social Mores

• is a sociology term that has evolved now
  referred to as true social mores, consisting
  of
• valuesi.e., moral values expressed
  out/socially.
• good social conduct out in public to
  benefit society by-
• proper manners when out and about in society
• polite social etiquettes in meetings
• Standards/or customs within a neighborhood or
  public
• any social health habits that comprise behaviors
  that contribute to living a healthy lifestyle and
  pursuing happiness and longevity (yet, differing
• various amongst different sociocultural groups).

Social Psychiatry

• The epidemiology of the unequally yoked and
  mental health disorders is of epidemic
  proportions. Specialized investigators are now
  examing the social, biologic, and genetic
  determinants that contribute to the effects of
  malsuited dyads. Yet, at the same time,
  scientific data on the equally yoked dyad is
  being secured for the prosterity of promoting
  mental health and biopsychosocioclultural
  wellness.
• Research Studies in Social Psychiatry have been
  scheduled or are now in progress in the variety
  of countries, some of, which include Denmark,
  Iceland, Norway, Finland, etc.

An Equally Yoked Dyad

• An equally yoked dyad may very well represent a
  well balanced close relationship architecture,
  however, investigators are in search of even much
  more...1
• Equally yoked couples play a major role in
  shaping, attitudes, feelings, thoughts, habits
  and lifestyles. Researchers describe how these
  close relationships effect one another and just
  how important are equally yoked coupleships
  anyway. 2
• Dyadic psychologists study how an interpersonal
  relationships are affected - equally yoked and
  unequally yoked - couples alike - looking at
  sexual attraction, bonding and attachment, love,
  marriage, and family life.(IBID)

  well designed randomized controlled trial reports
  with negative results, notwithstanding the
  existence of positive efficacy results as
  reported from other less well designed trials or
  a meta-analysis.) (13)
• Note if there is gt1 negative randomized
  controlled trials that are well designed and
  highly compelling, this will result in a grade of
  "F" notwithstanding positive results from other

Equally Yoked

• is the long sought after historical engagement
  of two human beings, i.e., male - female united
  in a coupleship, ...pairing off according to
  their own civil identity and mating for life
  thus reaffirming the importance of the
  biopsychosociocultural relationship that exists
  in a multicultural society and proven by evidence
  from strict clinical studies that the Equally
  Yoked tend to have a pattern of living healthier
  lifestyles, are happier, and live longer lives.

• Equally-yoked. The reference dyad sometimes
  called, the holy grail of clinical dyadic
  psychology.
• Equally Yoked. In Theology, the Religious
  Doctrine of an identically matched couple - the
  basis of true holy matrimony - falling in love
  and mating for life.
• Equallyoked. As a valued social mores, public

- Social Influences

• Some dyadic psychologists are interested in the
  roles that influences equally yoked couples
  before engagement, marriage, and family.
• In the areas of equally yoked mate selections
  some investigators examine what conformity,
  positive persuasion, peer influences, and abiding
  in good social mores has to do with pre-marital
  coupling.
• Such research has helped reveal what social
  influences has helped people to resist abnormal
  or unequally yoked secular (negative)
  influences.

Case-In-Point

• What is the total population size of the

  study?
• What percentage of equally yoked dyads are
  strictly equally yoked, true equally yoked
  and almost (or nearly) equally yoked?
• What case-in-point studies are outstanding
  with a pro-life, pro-liberty, and pro-pursuit of
  happiness orientation?

3. Bias in some form(c) Bias in some form(IBID)
Study, after study, after study, revealed mixed
findings-some conclusive and some inconclusive
but the consensus is that the equally yoked
couples felt discriminated against to about the
same degree as did unequally yoked couples. Both
equally yoked and unequally yoked reported being
avoided by others. Both reported incidents of
prejudice and bias. To the same extent, both
reported having others be blatantly rude to
them. Equally yoked couples- stereotyping studies
are in need of further study. - New

Lack of Good Discrimination

• Studies in Stereotyping of Equally Yoked Dyads is
  needed.
• Lack of Good Discrimination in choosing an
  equally yoked relationship a soul mate a
  lifetime relationship was one risk factor
  identified.(a)
• Origins, causes and effects of both the equally
  yoked and unequally yoked coupleships are
  multifactorial and prejudice, bias, or
  discrimination in a mulitcultural secular society
  is a given its there by design and
  development secularistic anti-stereotypes for
  personal profit and maintained in the face of
  contrary evidences.(b)
• Up-to-date studies of equally yoked dyads (and
  other twosome forms) have clearly demonstrated
  that all have experienced, some form prejudice in
  life.(ibid)

Concluding Remarks

• We all need to continue to learn about the
  Equally Yoked Coupleshipwhy? to help better
  serve humanity
• Recall Sooner or later, just about everyone has
  or will have heard the quote, Be ye not
  Unequally yoked. at some time in their lives.
• gradually over time new studies and resources
  on equallyokedtarians will evolve and contribute
  to more psychosocially healthful, fully
  funcational, and peaceful relationships.
