我们提出了一个理论框架，将个体水平的生育动机组织成夫妇水平的模型。这一框架的一个特征是特征-欲望-意图-行为(TDIB)序列，通过该序列，个人的生育动机产生旨在促进或防止生育的工具性行为。这一框架的第二个特征是个体感知伴侣动机结构的认知能力。我们将这两个特征结合到一个二元级模型中，该模型解决了合作伙伴在激励序列的每一步之间的互动。我们首先从对合作伙伴动机结构的感知出发，其次从合作伙伴的激励结构与自身的激励结构相结合的角度来阐述这一模型。在这个过程中，我们考虑如何通过这些互动来衡量和研究夫妻层面的沟通、影响和分歧的过程。最后，我们对该框架进行了总结讨论，并考虑了它对生殖心理学、人口调查和计划生育服务理论的影响。
We present a theoretical framework that organizes individual-level fertility motivations into a couple-level model. One feature of this framework is the Traits-Desires-Intentions-Behaviour (TDIB) sequence through which the fertility motivations of individuals produce instrumental behaviours that are designed to promote or prevent childbearing. A second feature of this framework is the cognitive capacity of individuals to perceive a partner's motivational structure. We combine these two features into a dyad-level model that addresses interactions between partners at each step of the motivational sequence. We elaborate this model first with respect to the perception of partner's motivational structure and second with respect to the combination of partner's and own motivational structure. In the process we consider how couple-level processes of communication, influence, and disagreement can be measured and studied through these interactions. We conclude with a summary discussion of the framework and a consideration of the implications it has for a theory of reproductive psychology, population surveys, and family planning services.
