Are these findings consistent with astrological literature?

YES  Taurus is said to be a practical, material sign, so it would be less interested in astrology than other signs.  Taurus seeks security – hence the propensity for Taurus women to marry. Taurus is an Earth sign and, as such, is seen to be more suitable for Water signs or other Earth signs; therefore less marriages to Air signs (Gemini and Aquarius) and to a Fire sign (Leo) and more stable marriages to a Water sign (Cancer) are consistent findings; Libra, an Air sign, is an exception, because it is ruled by Venus like Taurus and is therefore considered compatible.  Taurus is a cautious sign, so the fewer car accidents are also consistent and so is the finding of a propensity to suicide (“depressive tendencies”) and fewer football players, since Taurus is considered to be a lazy, non-sporty sign.

NO   Psychology is not a typical Taurus pursuit.  Architecture is a typical Taurus profession, but not the others, whereas a typical Taurus profession – baker – was less common among Taurus people.  Taurus tends to hold onto things so embezzlement could be considered to be consistent, but then theft would be, too.
