“…Despite the reservations that greeted these findings (3) , a degree of "inherited" reproductive behaviour has been observed. Similar work has been done in other countries, all leading to comparable results (Anderton et al, 1987;Johnson and Freymeyer, 1989;Kahn and Anderson, 1992;Murphy and Knudsen, 2002) (4) . In addition to intergenerational transmission of behaviour, it has also been shown that the preferences expressed by children could be explained by their parents' behaviour (Duncan et al, 1965;Stolzenberg and Waite, 1977;Toulemon, 1987) and by their parents' preferences, i.e.…”

Influence of Own Sibship Size on the Number of Children Desired at Various Times of Life

Analysis of the desire for children has become topical once again in demographic research, as a number of industrialized countries are experiencing low fertility, and ageing has become a matter of concern almost everywhere in the world. In the previous issue of Population , Maria Rita Testa and Leonardo Grilli examined the influence of the fertility context in European regions on the desire for children. Arnaud R ÉGNIER -L OILIER turns here to the influence of family background on the emergence and variation of preferences during family formation. His longitudinal perspective on varying preferences over the life course comprises carefully selected survey data and interviews, showing how little the desire for children predicts actual family size.*Institut national d'études démographiques. Translated by Roger Depledge.(5) The same people were surveyed again in 2001 and 2003. However, because of the small sample size for the final survey (N = 783) and problems of selective attrition (Mazuy et al., 2005), these data could not be used for the analysis.(6) For a description of the survey, see Cassan et al., 2005.Population: Women aged 45 living with a partner and men whose partner is 45.

“…Heiland, Prskawetz, and Sanderson (2008) discuss three sources of between-person differences in fertility ideals: family background, individual characteristics, and behavioral dispositions. Growing up in a larger family is associated with a higher ideal number of children than growing up in a smaller family (Axinn, Clarkberg, and Thornton 1994;Dey and Wasoff 2010;Gustavus and Nam 1970;Heiland, Prskawetz, and Sanderson 2008;Johnson and Freymeyer 1989). Therefore, family-of-origin experiences can shape schemas of family size (Basten and Gu 2013; Testa and Grilli 2006).…”

BACKGROUND Demographers typically ask about societal, not personal, fertility ideals. Societal ideals are probably more stable than personal ideals. Assessing whether personal fertility ideals are as stable as societal ideals could inform models of population fertility change and models of well-being associated with fertility outcomes. METHODS We use the two-wave National Survey of Fertility Barriers (NSFB) to model stability and change in fertility ideals among 879 women in heterosexual couples that persisted for both waves. RESULTS Personal fertility ideals are stable for most (69%) women, but roughly one-third adjust their ideal number between waves. Of the women who changed their personal fertility ideal, approximately half increase and half decrease their personal fertility ideal over time. Multinomial logistic regression indicates that women with a higher fertility ideal at Wave 1 had higher odds of increasing and lower odds of decreasing their fertility ideal by Wave 2. Higher education was associated with lower likelihood of increasing fertility ideals. In addition, full-time employment at the initial interview was associated with higher likelihood of decreasing fertility ideals.

“…Or in a 1977 supper club fire, employees drew not only on work roles to navigate the fire (e.g. servers helping diners in their area) but also their gender roles—with men providing more overall assistance, especially in attempting to control the fire (Johnston and Johnson, 1989). These roles were enacted in creative ways that enabled, rather than constrained attention by providing employees with a sense of what tasks needed to get done (enhancing the vividness with which they registered the crisis) and specifying how people could relate to each other to fulfill those tasks (enhancing their collective coherence).…”

This article develops the attention-based view of crises. Crises implicate the failure of structures that shape attention throughout a system and initiate attempts to transform these structures. As crises are so influential, case studies of crisis provide rich details from which to build theory. Synthesizing insights from 80 qualitative case studies of crises, we build a theoretical framework that revitalizes scholarly understanding of how structure and attention relate in today’s complex systems. This framework reveals how everyday social practices instantiate structure, compose systems, and shape the quality of attention, such that practices constitute both a source and solution to crises. Understanding the systemic nature of attention through practices might therefore advance our collective capacity to face crises. It also contributes more broadly to ongoing conversations about how to apply the attention-based view in today’s world, where important organizations look less and less like traditional big businesses, notions of structure implied by formal organization charts are diminishingly relevant, and the quality of attention matters more than its quantity.
