VARAS, Giuliana Violeta Vásquez  and  BORSA, Juliane Callegaro. Warren Miller and the T-D-I-B reproductive decision-making model: A theoretical review. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2022, vol.16, n.1, pp. 1-22. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2022.v16.31757.

The present theoretical study aims to systematize the most important aspects of Warren Miller's Trait-Desires-Intentions-Behaviors (T-D-I-B) model that explains reproductive decisions. We organize the information based on four thematic axes: 1) Biographical elements of Warren Miller and his first scientific productions on reproductive behavior; 2) Description of the T-D-I-B model; 3) Definition of the dyadic model where the motivational structures of two partners interact as each individual's four-step sequence develops and 4) Exposure of the empirical evidence of the T-D-I-B model and current studies carried out in Iran, Poland, Brazil and Peru.

Keywords : T-D-I-B model; Warren Miller; Reproductive behavior; Reproductive decisions.
