The results showed that those who were child-free were perceived as far less “psychologically fulfilled” than those with children. The study noted that “child-free targets” triggered significantly greater feelings of moral outrage, including anger, disapproval, and even disgust.
“What’s remarkable about our findings is the moral outrage participants reported feeling toward a stranger who decided to not have children,”Ashburn-Nardo, Vice Provost for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Drexel University and author of the study. “Our data suggests that not having children is seen not only as atypical, or surprising, but also as morally wrong.”
