ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to classify young women into groups based on their childbearing worldviews-patterns of attitudes about domains related to childbearing-and to test whether these groups predict contraceptive behavior.BackgroundContraceptive behavior-defined here as contraceptive use or abstinence-among young women in the United States illustrates the often puzzling relationship between attitudes and behavior. This study argues that considering sets of attitudes relevant to childbearing in relation to each other can explain apparent contradictions between attitudes and contraceptive behavior.MethodUsing data from the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life study of young women (N = 832), this study analyzes the relationships among attitudes about childbearing by using latent class analysis to partition survey respondents into meaningful groups, and then multinomial logistic regression analysis to examine the relationship between group membership and contraceptive behavior. Latent class analysis identifies classes that share similar relationships between responses across a series of variables to measure childbearing worldviews.ResultsLatent class analysis identifies six classes of young women that share childbearing worldviews, four of which were predicted by the existing literature. Membership in those classes is then shown to predict contraceptive behavior, an important behavioral outcome.ConclusionThe concept of worldviews and the method for identifying them will allow family researchers to identify meaningful groups in a population as well as to generate theories about childbearing and contraceptive behavior
