Parenting: Selected Writings of Marc H. Bornstein
In the World Library of Psychologists series, international experts present career-long collections of what they judge to be their most interesting publications – extracts from books, key articles, research findings, and practical and theoretical contributions. Marc H. Bornstein has published widely in experimental, methodological, comparative, developmental, and cultural science as well as neuroscience, pediatrics, and aesthetics. In this volume, he has collected an integrated series of his papers on parenting. Many disciplines over many centuries have expounded on parenting, but theory and opinion have prevailed. Bornstein initiated efforts to make parenting an evidence-based field of st...

Global Perspectives on Parental Acceptance and Rejection
Global Perspectives on Parental Acceptance and Rejection advances an understanding of the profound and lifelong effects that parental love (acceptance) and the absence of love (rejection) have on human development from childhood through to old age. It draws from interpersonal acceptance-rejection theory (IPARTheory), an evidence-based theory of socialization and lifespan development that focuses on the pancultural effects, causes, and other correlates of interpersonal acceptance-rejection throughout the lifespan. Edited by Ronald P. Rohner and Sumbleen Ali, contributions from leading scholars show how few experiences have as wide-ranging, significant, and predictable consequences for human b...
Parental Gatekeeping
This pioneering volume reviews theory and research on parental gatekeeping—the extent to which parents support or thwart each other’s involvement in parenting. Chapter authors review theories, conceptual models, and measures of gatekeeping, and evaluate its consequences for parent-child relationships. Offering a holistic perspective, this book not only explores mothers’ gatekeeping of fathers but also considers the potential roles of others, including fathers, as gatekeepers. Chapter authors also explore parental gatekeeping processes in at-risk families, including separated and divorced families and those with adolescent and nonresident fathers. This book summarizes the key findings and critical gaps in the gatekeeping literature and suggests important directions for future research. This landmark text will be of interest to all students and scholars who study parenting, child development, and families. It will also serve as a valuable guide to future scholars in the burgeoning field of parenting research.
