Thesis (Ph.D.)--State University of New York at Albany, 2004.

This dissertation examines the difference in fertility behaviors of first married couples, remarried couples, and cohabiting couples, using the likelihood of having a child and the timing of that child as the dependent variables. This dissertation also tests hypotheses from the Normative Behavior and Cementing theories. A weighted sample of 2,775 couples was selected from the National Survey of Families and Households.

520 $a This dissertation examines the difference in fertility behaviors of first married couples, remarried couples, and cohabiting couples, using the likelihood of having a child and the timing of that child as the dependent variables. This dissertation also tests hypotheses from the Normative Behavior and Cementing theories. A weighted sample of 2,775 couples was selected from the National Survey of Families and Households.
520 $a The first section of the analysis looked at the differences between women's and men's fertility. This study found that there are slight differences between women's and men's fertility patterns, especially in terms of religious service attendance.
520 $a The second section of the analysis looked first married, remarried, and cohabiting couples simultaneously. Fast married couples are more likely to have children compared to remarried couples and/or cohabiting couples. Remarried couple's fertility is decreased by prior relationship fertility and varies according to which spouse has been previously married. Cohabiting couples' fertility is highly affected by socioeconomic status of the couple.
520 $a The final section was to examine the three union types independently to identify possible interactions between union type and other independent variables. Race, union parity, education, and income interaction terms are analyzed and all found to have significant effects on fertility behavior for different union types. Results suggest that the negative effect of cohabiting on fertility is weaker for blacks. The negative effect of union parity on fertility is significantly weaker for remarried couples, and is positive for cohabitors, compared to first married couples. The effect of education on fertility is negative for cohabitors, and the negative effect of income on fertility is significantly stronger for cohabitors.
520 $a Theoretical support was found consistently for the hypotheses from Normative Behavior theory. Fertility is more likely to take place in normative childbearing unions, i.e. first marriages, than in other union types. There is also some support for cementing theory hypotheses. Findings indicate that remarrieds have shorter birth intervals, presumably in order to more quickly cement their union. Findings also indicate that certain remarried couples are more likely to have a child.
