Abstract
The goal of this paper is establishing whether there is a difference in the motivation for parenthood of the female students, regarding the turn of birth. The research has been done on a convenient sample consisting of 106 female students at the State university of Novi Pazar. In the research, the parenthood Motivation scale has been used. The results have demonstrated that the motivation for parenthood is mostly instrumental and least narcistic with these students. The results of the testing, significance and difference in the motivation for parenthood regarding the turn of birth have demonstrated that, statistically speaking, there is a significant difference in general and instrumental motivation between the first born and the second born. Namely, this dimension is more expressed with the second born questionees [t(82)=-2.446; p<.05]. It has also been demonstrated that the second born questionees have a stronger desire for a child in order to prove oneself, which eventually ascertaines the results of the descriptive analysis of instrumental motivation for parenthood. The research has shown that the female students mostly reduce the motivation for parenthood to its instrumentalization and their desire to have a child to a value of children as they themselves percieve it.
