Story summary
- In Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences, Aleksandra Milic and Janko Mededovic (study authors) report that high Openness to Experience predicts fewer children.
- They find that such individuals delay parenthood, have shorter romantic relationships, and report fewer positive motivations for starting a family.
- The 1,024-participant study, mainly young adults, notes cross-sectional design and demographic skew as limitations, and Milic calls for broader, longitudinal research.
