Abstract:A theoretical base consisting of 17 hypotheses was constructed to identify attitudinal, behavioral, and biosocial characteristics of families successful in fertility control. A multiple-choice instrument entitled Rating of Self Status International (ROSSI) was devised to measure attitudinal and behavioral characteristics postulated by the hypotheses. Factor analysis of ROSSI, based on the responses of 297 undergraduates (192 women and 105 men) at a Midwestern university, identified 12 factors that corresponded with one or more of the nondemographic constructs embodying the hypotheses. A quasi-experimental design was outlined that could be used to conduct a crucial test of both the theory and the instrument offered for measuring the theoretical constructs pertinent to fertility control and regulation.
