This dissertation research will allow a cultural anthropologist specialized in demography to study male attitudes towards paternity and their contributions to fertility decisions. The project will study two cohorts of men, aged 25 and 35, from Santa Clara County, California, to describe the values men have about paternity, relate these values to social class, opportunity structure and life history, and illuminate demographic and attitudinal data from large scale surveys of fertility with this ethnographic view. This research is important because most studies of fertility deal with women, yet the values and attitudes of men are equally important. This in-depth study of males will thus contribute valuable information that can serve to identify any bias in previous studies.

这篇论文的研究将允许一位专门从事人口学的文化人类学家研究男性对父亲的态度以及他们对生育决定的贡献。该项目将研究加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉县的两组男性，年龄分别为25岁和35岁，以描述男性对父子关系的价值观，将这些价值观与社会阶层、机会结构和生活史联系起来，并用这种人种学观点解释大规模生育调查中的人口统计和态度数据。这项研究很重要，因为大多数关于生育的研究都是关于女性的，但男性的价值观和态度也同样重要。因此，这种对男性的深入研究将提供有价值的信息，有助于识别先前研究中的任何偏见。
