A Systematic Review of the Outcomes for U.S. Only Children in the Last 40 Years
While family trends indicate that more families are having zero or one child, stigma against one-child families exists. Understanding if there are negative outcomes for only children is important to family planning in the future.

Life Dissatisfaction in an Older Childless Woman
Overtime, choosing not to have children has become a more common phenomenon. Alongside this change, studies have found that women without children are just as fulfilled, if not more so, in their lives as those who have had children. These studies, in the context of theories of second-wave feminism, psychosocial theory, and stigma theory, are reviewed. This study presents a dissatisfied older woman who has not had children to examine the differenc…
A Systematic Review of Life Satisfaction Experiences Among Childfree Adults
Demographic trends in parenthood have revealed that more people are living their lives without children. Societal assumption, however, is that the childfree life is lacking in fulfillment. Understanding whether there is an association between being childfree and life satisfaction may provide relevant information on how to better support individuals who do not have children. Although there are many studies with the purpose of examining childlessne…
To Be or Not to Be
Marriage has been a topic of analysis for decades, supported by countless funders such as the government and the Healthy Marriage Initiative. With time, marriage has become less of a societal standard despite overwhelming research supporting its value for adults, children, and society. With the idea that factors that create satisfaction may not be the same ones that result in long-term success, this study uniquely aimed to get the perspectives of…

Understanding whether there is an association between partnership and life satisfaction may provide relevant information on how to better support individuals either choosing or finding themselves single. Although there are a limited number of studies with the explicit purpose of examining part…
