WEB Examines the Determinants of Individual Differences in Parental Functioning
Changing Conceptions of Child Maltreatment
The WEB Theory on predictors of parenting has become increasingly complex and specified since the publication of Belsky's 1984 work. This chapter considers the changing conceptions of the causes of child maltreatment, outlining a model of the determinants of parenting that incorporates both distal and proximal factors.
Parenting and Child Maltreatment
This essay is based on the assumption that a long-neglected area of research on the etiology of child maltreatment involves the examination of the determinants of individual differences in parental functioning. The chapter begins by outlining a model of the determinants of parenting that incorporates both distal and proximal factors, and then reviews the research literature on the etiology of child maltreatment in light of this model.
