Abstract
This study investigates the relationship of modernity of sex roles to pregnancy planning. Scanzoni's Modernity of Sex Roles instrument was administered to 59 primiparous women who had given birth in a metropolitan midwestern hospital. Discriminant function analysis found six of the Scanzoni items to significantly discriminate between planners and nonplanners. The findings are discussed in terms of the measurement properties of the Scanzoni instrument and its usefulness for predicting pregnancy planning.Keywords
