In my developmental psychology class this afternoon I was giving a number
of examples of different types of correlation (strength and direction) and
I gave level of education and number of children as an example of a
negative correlation. I "know" that I have read a number of times that
individuals with higher levels of education tend to have smaller families
(and vice versa) but one of the students in my class asked if I could
provide a reference. I didn't have a reference off the top of my head, and
I haven't been able to locate anything dealing with this specific
relationship in the sources I have searched so far. Do any TIPSters have a
reference that supports this correlation?
Thanks in advance for any help.
