Abstract

In order to explore and evaluate the variables influencing young women's "fear of marriage and pregnancy," this study employs a questionnaire survey approach. The weight of each component is then determined using the entropy weighting method. We evaluate the several significant aspects with higher weights using the theories of planned behavior and psychoanalysis. From the standpoint of negative social information, women's subjective intentions are impacted by the dissemination of negative information via Internet media, which discourages them from desiring to have children; from the standpoint of personal ability, the rapid economic development has resulted in an increase in the cost of marriage and childbearing; According to the viewpoint of the family of origin, women's fear of marriage is a result of the mental suppression and projection brought on by a bad family situation; women's fear of marriage is reflected in their own cognition and pursuit, which also represents their fear of traditional feudal marriage in the modern era. According to the viewpoint of the family of origin, women's fear of marriage stems from the mental repression and projection caused by unfavorable family circumstances. The "fear of marriage and pregnancy" will eventually fade as the family, the economy, and husband and wife relationships catch up with women's thoughts in this new era.
