Preferred term

parental investment theory  

Definition(s)

  • Parental Investment Theory is a biological theory that attempts to explain the dynamic, give-and-take relationships among parents, their offspring, and limited resources. In many species, parents are forced to make a difficult choice between investing in themselves (e.g., survival, mating) and investing in their offspring (e.g., feeding, protection). [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Relationships; Parental Investment Theory]
