A series of studies are presented which examine the relation between parenthood intentions (intend to be a parent and intend to remain childless) and self-concept, mental health, and grade point average in a college student population. The results suggest that college students not intending to have a child tend to be statistically deviant on all the variables examined. Cross-validation results suggest a high frequency of psychopathology among the sample of young intended nonparent college students. Based on the MMPI results, the intention to be a nonparent appears to be associated with general maladjustment, rather than just a deviancy from social norms.
本文呈现了一系列研究,考察了在大学生群体中,父母意愿(打算成为父母和打算保持无子女状态)与自我概念、心理健康和平均绩点之间的关系。结果表明,不打算要孩子的大学生在所有被考察的变量上都存在统计学上的偏差。交叉验证结果表明,在年轻的有意愿的无子女大学生样本中,心理病理学的出现频率很高。基于 MMPI 的结果,不打算成为父母的意愿似乎与一般适应不良有关,而不仅仅是偏离社会规范。
