Description
Research on the topic of parent beliefs, or parent cognition, has increased tremendously since the original publication of this volume in 1985. For this revised second edition, the editors sought to reflect some of the new directions that research on parent cognition has taken. By offering a greater variety of topics, it gives evidence of the intellectual concerns that now engage researchers in the field and testifies to the expanding scope of their interests. Although a unique collection because it reflects the diversity that exists among major researchers in the field, it evinces a common theme -- that the ideas parents have regarding their children and themselves as parents have an impact on their actions. This emphasis on parents' ideas shifts the focus on sources of family influence to ideas or beliefs as determinants of family interactions. The implication of this way of thinking for practitioners is that it suggests the shift to ideas and thoughts from behavior and attitudes.
Reviews / Votes
"Parental Belief Systems is a book that should be read by any student of the parenting process, providing as it does a clear snapshot of the state of research in the area at the moment. As well, it contains a wealth of intriguing ideas that should significantly direct thinking about parent cognitions in the next few years."-Merrill-Palmer Quarterly
"One of the most impressive aspects of this volume is the glimpse it provides of several researchers' long-term, programmatic commitments to this area of study....offers an impressive introduction to research on parental beliefs and contributes to our understanding of childhood socialization processes."
