"This paper examines how living in a single parent family affects intergenerational marriage patterns regarding preferred family size. Data collected from 1,300 college students at a large midwestern [U.S.] university provide further evidence of a positive relationship between number of siblings in one's family of origin and preferred marital family size. However, this relationship does not hold for all groups. Factors affecting preferred family size differ for males and females from intact and nonintact family structures. The positive relationship between size of family of orientation and family of procreation holds only for individuals from intact homes."
本文探讨了单亲家庭生活如何影响关于理想家庭规模的代际婚姻模式。从美国中西部一所大型大学的1300名大学生收集的数据进一步证明了原生家庭中兄弟姐妹数量与理想婚姻家庭规模之间存在正相关关系。然而，这种关系并非适用于所有群体。来自完整和不完整家庭结构的男性和女性影响理想家庭规模的因素有所不同。原生家庭规模与生育家庭规模之间的正相关关系仅适用于来自完整家庭的个体。
