The question of the birth of children is a purely personal choice that should be respected by society, regardless of what decision the woman comes to. For some, motherhood is the meaning of life, and someone consciously refuses this role. New studies show that the level of intelligence can play an important role in this solution. & Nbsp;
The conclusions of scientists are reported by Ura-Inform, referring to Your Tango.
1. IQ influence on the desire to have children & nbsp;
Studies of the evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Canazava shed light on the relationship between the intelligence of the woman and her desire to make children. In his book “Paradox of Intelligence”, Canazava claims that with each increase in IQ by 15 points, the probability of a woman’s desire to become a mother decreases by 25 percent. This is because women with a higher level of intelligence often put their careers, personal development and other aspects of life above motherhood. & Nbsp;
2. Genetic transmission of intelligence & nbsp;
Interestingly, Canazava also indicates a connection between intelligence and genetics. According to him, the intelligence has a high level of heredity and can be transmitted through the X chromosome. This means that boys inherit intelligence exclusively from mothers, while girls receive it from both parents. & Nbsp;
3. Factors affecting the intelligence of the child & nbsp;
Other studies show that the first -born are often smarter than their younger brothers and sisters. However, this is rather due to education than with genetics. Parents, as a rule, pay more attention to the first child and make higher requirements for him. & Nbsp;
4. The personal choice of a woman & nbsp;
a woman’s desire to have children is the result of many factors, including cultural, social and personal preferences. High intelligence can be only one of the factors affecting this decision. As Your Tango notes, not a single woman should experience pressure or guilt for her choice – to be a mother or not. & Nbsp;
