• W289340068 abstract "A study examined undergraduate student (n=310) attitudes and expectations about future parenting experiences, particularly their attitudes regarding the gender preference for their first child. Findings revealed that female college students were more likely to predict having a son as their first child. A strong preference for boys (92%) was observed among the male college students (chi square X2=61.2 p<001). Most of the female students (57%), however, predicted having daughters first. Prior research has suggested that parents, in general, and fathers, specifically, demonstrate differing levels of involvement and commitment when their child is of a favored gender or not. As family life educators work with expectant parents, implications from this study may alert them to this potentially important variable in the processes of early parenthood. Contains six references.

Kennedy and Gregory E. Brown Central Missouri State University, Warrensburg MO 64093 Parents' gender preferences for children have been well documented in history, and are embedded in cultural, religious, community, and societal norms. Children of a particular gender are often more desired because of the perceived benefits or costs of having a certain gender. Having male offspring once implied the continuity for the family heritage, passing down of the family wealth/business (American women could not inherit property until late 1800s and could not vote until 1912), providing financial, farming, practical assistance and security for parents' old age. Some research has indicated the preference for sons is still prominent especially in many countries like India (Malhi, 1995) and China. A strong commitment to and expectation for a certain sex in children has led to tragedies such as discrimination or even infanticide. Sex ratios at birth vary across countries due to health, fertility rates, prenatal sex screening, sex-selective abortion and some female births not being registered. Even if societies provided unbiased health conditions and equal nutrition to both males and females, male mortality rates are higher at any age from conception on (Smith and Smith, 1994). Traditional values for many Asian countries have placed a premium on producing male heirs, but recently there have been suggestions that this trend changing. Japan was once a country with a strong preference for sons. Failure to produce a male heir used to be grounds for divorce. Recent surveys showed that up to 75% of young Japanese parents now prefer baby girls (Efron, 1995). This overwhelming enthusiasm for baby" @default.
