Population problems and family-planning attitudes in the United States are examined through an overview and analysis of national data and large bodies of related social and psychological research. Studies indicate that low-income white and nonwhite families express favorable attitudes towards small family size and contraception; they also indicate that certain groups tend to be "ineffective family planners": especially those of southeastern rural residence or rural origins who possess less than an eighth~grade education. Implications for program and policy are suggested along with proposals for needed areas of social and psychological research in the fields of program evaluation, community studies, attitudes and behavior, effects of contraceptive use, and more basic studies on such subjects as optimum child-spacing and family size. A basic position is taken that family-planning programs, policies, and research should include equal considerations of males along with females and that they should be considered in dynamic context with the total family and the many social and economic factors that impinge upon it.
