Parenting: An Ecological Perspective was originally created in 1993
to answer questions such as: Why do parents differ markedly in the
ways in which they care for their children? What factors contribute
to individual differences in parenting behavior? The framework used
for addressing these questions is the ecological perspective
developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner, who recognized that children's
development is influenced by the interactions that they have over
time with the people, objects, and symbols in their immediate
environment. Luster and Okagaki have updated the original text
focusing on parental behavior and also included 6 new chapters
covering topics such as: *fathers/gender of parent; *children with
special needs; *ethnicity and socioeconomic status; and *parent
education. The text summarizes the latest research on factors that
influence parenting, with each chapter providing a look at one
important influence and the linkages among these various factors.
An ecological perspective draws attention to the fact that the
lives of parents and children are intertwined, and that
understanding factors that influence parents is important for
understanding the experiences of children.
