Abstract
Increasingly fertility is being viewed as the culmination of a highly complex and dynamic process. The extent to which sex role attitudes influence this process in particular the events comprising the initial stages of family formation is tested using a sample of 194 white nevermarried Catholic university students. Findings indicate that among both male and female respondants certain dimensions of sex role attitudes directly and indirectly influence initial family formation plans and that the more traditional and respondant -- with respect to the relative economic role of husband and wife and the importance of the family in providing a secure relationship -- the earlier marriage and the birth of the 1st child are planned.(AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
