Comparisons of Mothers of One Child by Choice with Mothers Wanting a Second Birth.

Callan, Victor J.

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v47 n1 p155-64 Feb 1985

Compared 38 mothers with one child by choice and 37 mothers wanting a second child on background characteristics and attitudes about the first birth and a second child. While deliberate one-child wives had lower levels of religiosity and were less femininely sex-typed, mothers were highly similar on other characteristics. (NRB)
