Developmental Psychology invites manuscripts for a special section on three-generation research on parenting and its consequences to be compiled by guest editors Rand Conger, Jay Belsky, and Deborah Capaldi working together with Associate Editor Richard Lerner.
The goal of the special section is to highlight recent high quality, prospective, longitudinal research on intergenerational continuities and discontinuities in parenting behavior and their consequences for child and adolescent development. Topics might include, but are not limited to, examination of the following:
- Mediating mechanisms that link quality of parenting in one generation to quality of parenting in the next,
- Social or personal events or conditions that either reduce or increase (i.e., moderate) the degree of intergenerational continuity in the quality of parenting behavior,
- Factors that disrupt intergenerational continuity in abusive parenting,
- The role of continuity in parenting as a nexus for similar developmental trajectories of children or adolescents in one generation and their children in the next generation, and
- Methodological issues related to the study of intergenerational continuity in parenting and its consequences.
Especially welcomed are papers that report the results of research on understudied populations such as ethnic minorities or rural as well as urban parents and children. The submission of recently completed doctoral dissertations is also encouraged.
The submission deadline is April 1, 2008.
Initial inquiries regarding the special section may be sent to
Rand Conger,
Jay Belsky, or
Deborah Capaldi.
Manuscripts must be submitted electronically through the Manuscript Submission Portal of Developmental Psychology. Please be sure to specify in the cover letter that your submission is intended for the special section.
