- 요약The project presented sought to investigate the biosocial influences on fertility goals and family formation in the years prior to childbearing. Fertility desires and goals are thought to be important for shaping future demographic trends and understanding the underlying patterns of reproductive health surrounding the experience of reproduction. This work will utilize a biosocial framework to understand the "upstream" behavioral and anthropological components which shape reproductive outcomes across the lifetime. This interdisciplinary project seeks to elucidate important decision-making elements for meeting family formation goals towards or away from having children.Our first aim represents one of the first to compare self-described and supplied reasons for forgoing and/or delaying children, revealing key concerns over the contemporary affordability of children and the ardent desire to be financially and emotionally stable prior to the consideration of reproduction. We synthesize qualitative interview data with our quantitative findings to illustrate how concerns and desires are conceptualized by participants, indicating that childbearing decisions are nuanced, complex, and shrouded with uncertainty. For our second aim, we put forth evidence that subjective social status influences an individual's predisposition towards positive or negative fertility aspirations. Results indicated that higher subjective social status was associated with an increased likelihood of positive inclination towards childbearing. Our findings highlight critical differences in fertility goals based on objective and subjective measures of social status, signaling a distinct role for two individuals perceived their status. With our third aim, we explore how perceptions of the future interrelate to fertility goals using the 5-item Dark Future Scale. We document a strong association between pessimistic views toward the future and an individual's predisposition toward negative fertility aspirations. This finding highlights critical differences in fertility goals based on perceived conditions of the world, contributing to an increased understanding of how subjective notions and narratives of societal well-being may function as a key determinant of fertility goals. Together, these findings provide a valuable snapshot into the social processes behind fertility goals among existing non-parents.
