Abstract

Without a doubt, parents play a critical role in socializing moral development in their children. This handbook provides a collection of state-of-the-art theories and research on the important role that parents play in moral development. The contributors take a comprehensive, yet nuanced approach to considering the links between parenting and different aspects of moral development. The volume begins by providing an overview of traditional and contemporary theories on parenting and moral development, including perspectives related to parenting styles, domain theory, attachment theory, and evolutionary theory. In addition, there are several chapters that explore the genetic and biological influences related to parenting and moral development. The second section of the volume explores cultural and religious approaches to parenting and moral development and presents examples of contemporary research with diverse populations such as Muslim cultures and US Latino/as. The last major section of the volume examines recent developments and approaches to parenting, including chapters on topics such as helicopter parenting, proactive parenting, parent-child conversations and disclosure, parental discipline, and other parenting practices designed to foster moral development. Overall, the volume brings together the latest scholarship on parenting and moral development and lays out the next set of fundamental theoretical and empirical issues that will significantly advance the field. This volume is a must-read for scholars, practitioners, educators, students, and policy makers interested in the latest scholarly developments in the field of parenting and moral development.

Keywords: Parenting, moral development, empathy, prosocial behaviour, parental discipline, socialization, moral values
