Sociodemographic Status, Parental Background, Childhood Family Structure, and Attitudes toward Family Formation.

Trent, Katherine; South, Scott J.

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v54 n2 p427-39 May 1992

Used data from National Survey of Families and Households to investigate effects of individual characteristics, parental background, and childhood living arrangements on adults' attitudes toward marriage, divorce, and nonmarital childbearing. Strongest predictors were age, sex, and marital status, with older persons, men, and married persons displaying more traditional attitudes. (Author/NB)
