About this book

This pioneering volume reviews theory and research on parental gatekeeping—the extent to which parents support or thwart each other's involvement in parenting.

Chapter authors review theories, conceptual models, and measures of gatekeeping, and evaluate its consequences for parent-child relationships. Offering a holistic perspective, this book not only explores mothers' gatekeeping of fathers but also considers the potential roles of others, including fathers, as gatekeepers. Chapter authors also explore parental gatekeeping processes in at-risk families, including separated and divorced families and those with adolescent and nonresident fathers. This book summarizes the key findings and critical gaps in the gatekeeping literature and suggests important directions for future research.

This landmark text will be of interest to all students and scholars who study parenting, child development, and families. It will also serve as a valuable guide to future scholars in the burgeoning field of parenting research.
