Description

Previous research has investigated how DI beliefs and values have been disseminated in the Turkish context. However, no studies in Turkey have examined how individuals' behaviors or behavioral intentions are affected by peoples' support for these DI beliefs. This study provides the first analysis of the effects of DI on behavioral intentions in Turkey. Our findings show that, at least for fertility intentions, people's valuation of DI features may have a bigger influence than their behavioral beliefs in predicting fertility intentions. This finding supports previous DI research emphasizing the central importance of DI beliefs and values.
