Sentiments and the motivational psychology of parental care

Mark Schaller. Behav Brain Sci. 2017 Jan.

Abstract

Beyond its implications for contempt, it remains to be determined whether the sentiment concept might be applied usefully to other domains of social affect. This commentary considers its applicability to the domain of parental caregiving. Characteristic features of sentiments are considered in conjunction with empirical research on the motivational psychology of parental care.
