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. The book examines 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.
