"At the Roots of Child Development: On the Role of Parental Beliefs, Preferences and Engagement"
Unità operativa unica (Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche, Università di Bologna) composta da Tiziano Arduini, Maria Bigoni (P.I.), Margherita Fort, Daniela Iorio e Chiara Monfardini. Il progetto è sviluppato con la collaborazione scientifica di Annalisa Guarini e Alessandra Sansavini del Dipartimento di Psicologia dell'Università di Bologna.
Abstract:
We investigate the determinants of children’s non-cognitive skills and social preferences, focusing on the role of parenting practices. The project comprises three pillars: i) a theoretical model of parental investment; ii) a novel longitudinal dataset on children’s preferences and non-cognitive skills, and parents’ preferences, beliefs, and time-use in activities that involve their child; iii) the exogenous variation in parental beliefs and time-investments induced by a psycho-educational intervention that targets parents through an RCT. We aim at contributing to the creation of a sound empirical and theoretical basis for the design of policies promoting children’s well-being and equality of opportunities.
