From the late 1960s through the early 2000s, conservative psychologists expanded the list of threats to children, families and society from the established adversaries of childhood---poverty and inequality---to include the menace of changing family forms. Responding across this widened spectrum of potential social vulnerability, psychologists of all ideological persuasions, including Edward Zigler, James Dobson, Wade Horn, Paula Caplan and Phyllis Chesler, constructed and arbitrated disciplinary knowledge and sought to influence popular conceptions of what was right and reasonable in family life. In so doing, they tested and ultimately revised received conceptions of expertise and of public intellectualism.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a From the late 1960s through the early 2000s, conservative psychologists expanded the list of threats to children, families and society from the established adversaries of childhood---poverty and inequality---to include the menace of changing family forms. Responding across this widened spectrum of potential social vulnerability, psychologists of all ideological persuasions, including Edward Zigler, James Dobson, Wade Horn, Paula Caplan and Phyllis Chesler, constructed and arbitrated disciplinary knowledge and sought to influence popular conceptions of what was right and reasonable in family life. In so doing, they tested and ultimately revised received conceptions of expertise and of public intellectualism.
520 $a These psychologists pursued goals that contrasted starkly. Zigler fought the predations of poverty. Feminist psychologists Chesler and Caplan built knowledge of motherhood. Dobson and Horn sanctified the two-parent heterosexual family as ideal and pro-family values as transformative. The latter two, the traditionalists, networked with the growing coterie of pro-family experts and intellectuals from ideological think tanks such as Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute, and the Institute for American Values, whose prominence had been assured by conservative foundation funding. These conservative experts linked their prescriptions for vulnerable children and families to pro-family policies, marriage and fatherhood movements, and individual reformation. They advocated for a civic life distinguished by their version of republicanism---moral republicanism. They pushed the boundaries of public intellectualism and, with their think tank colleagues, brought forth a new and powerful public role---the political intellectual.
520 $a All five psychologists transformed the public sphere and problematized Jurgen Habermas' theories of it. Rather than bracketing inequality, they relied upon their expertise and intellectualism for credibility. Dobson and Horn, through Focus on the Family and the National Fatherhood Initiative respectively, publicized rational arguments and emotional appeals to cultivate and engage constituency-publics. These psychologists arbitrated knowledge, fractured public intellectualism, and reshaped the public sphere. Ultimately, the traditionalists among them infused their ideologically-highly politicized expertise into the moralistic side of the bipolar moral and economic ideology of the New Right.
