Abstract: Base on open-ended interviews, overviews of former studies, counseling of experts and a test of one small sample, the authors brought up a theoretical hypothesis about fertility values. Fertility values questionnaire was constructed according to the hypothesis. The researchers administered the questionnaire Confirmatory factor analysis found that fertility values was a multi-hierarchical and multi-dimensional construct which had nine first-hierarchy dimensions and three second-hierarchy dimensions. Our theoretical construct of fertility values is rational. The questionnaire needs to be revised. This study could be used as the basis of the future researches about fertility values.
