We examine the relationship between fertility intentions and fertility behavior using a sample of 2,812 non-Hispanic Whites interviewed twice by the National Survey of Families and Households. Time 1 fertility intentions are strong and persistent predictors of fertility, even after controlling for background and life course variables. The effect is greater when the intentions are held with greater certainty. In contrast. the expected timing or births has a much more modest and short-term effect. Only marital status has on effect with a manitude that is comparable with that is offer intentions. Fertility intentions do not mediate the effects of other variables but do contribute additional predictive power. The substantive importance of intentions emphasizes the salience or individual motivations and argues for a redirection of fertility research toward studies of the interactions between the individual and society.
