Förlagets beskrivning
According to the study conducted by Gallup Organization, only a minority of
Americans experience consistent normative motivation for engaging with other
people's children. Social norms theory suggests that adults are more likely to
get deeply involved if that involvement is viewed as highly important, and if
they perceive a social expectation to do so. This volume examines the nature of social norms in general and in
relationship to children and adolescents, examining the complex dynamics of
understanding the appropriate roles of parents and other adults in young
people's healthy development. The volume also presents the study's findings in
detail, including numerous areas of consensus among American adults,
differences among American adults, and the gap between perceived importance and
actual engagement. A wide-ranging literature synthesis suggests implications for both personal
and collective actions with potential to change norms that inhibit engagement
and to strengthen values that encourage engagement. This volume examines the nature of social norms in general and in
relationship to children and adolescents, examining the complex dynamics of
understanding the appropriate roles of parents and other adults in young
people's healthy development.
