The three papers in this dissertation explore the relationship between acculturation and a variety of factors related to fertility. The first two papers use data on 924 women of Mexican origin from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth. Multivariate analysis is used to assess changes between first generation immigrants, women of generation 1.5, and women born in the U.S. Outcomes modeled in the first paper are pregnancy, pregnancy intendedness, and happiness about pregnancy; outcomes modeled in the second paper are sexual activity, desired family size, and contraceptive use. The effects of potential mediating variables are also explored. The third paper is based on in-depth interviews with 11 Mexican immigrant women in North Carolina. Content analysis of the interviews was performed to determine whether the women planned their pregnancies, factors that they considered in planning their pregnancies, and the effect of migration on their pregnancy planning. Results indicate that although women of later generations are less likely to conceive a pregnancy compared to first generation immigrants, their pregnancies are less likely to be intended and they are less likely to be happy about their pregnancies. Women of later generations are less likely be sexually active than first generation immigrants, due in large part to the fact that they are less likely to be married, but they are more likely to use contraception. First generation immigrants are highly motivated to plan their pregnancies, but their motivations are more familistic than individualistic. The experience of migration intensifies their felt need to plan their pregnancies. This study increases our theoretical understanding of the process of acculturation as well as the factors that influence the fertility preferences and contraceptive use of Mexican-origin women.
