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.
