Abstract

We explored associations between traditional gender beliefs and prospective family formation among 210 heterosexual and 55 sexual minority Chinese international students in the U.S. Stronger endorsement of traditional gender roles was associated with greater aspirations regarding parenthood, and with younger ideal ages for marriage and parenthood, regardless of sexual identity.
