Abstract
This review article examines prior research on attitudes towards women without children. The progression of pronatalist values and theories within Western societies are delineated and a critical review of the research that examines attitudes towards women without children is presented. Empirical studies have consistently found that women without children are perceived more negatively than mothers. However, the existing research predominantly uses vignettes to assess attitudes, allowing for little variability in the type of questions that can be asked and the conclusions that can be drawn. Further, this research rarely adopts a theoretical approach to data collection or analysis. The methodological and theoretical limitations of this research will be discussed and avenues for future studies that can address these limitations will be outlined. Finally, the policy implications that novel research on pronatalist attitudes could have for non-mothers will be explored.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
