This study investigates the connection between of psychosocial factors and level of fertility in those women using contraception. The log-linear model was utilized to analyze the 1985 Korean fertility and Family Health Survey data. Results were as follows: 1) Among urban dwellers, the selected model contained a 3-term interaction hierarchical effect with the components being education, number of children, and marital age. There were also 2 2-term hierarchical effects with the components being income, education and income, and number of children. 2) Among rural dwellers, the model was simpler, as it contained 3 2-term interaction hierarchical effects with the components being income, education, number of children and education, and marital age. There is a clear indication that education has the strongest effect on the number of living children among women who practice contraception. This implies that the number of children is smaller among those women practicing contraction whose educational level is higher. (author's modified)
