Handbook of Socialization
Theory and Research
|
|
Edited by Joan E. Grusec and Paul D. Hastings
Bringing together leading authorities, this handbook reviews the breadth of
current knowledge on socialization processes from earliest childhood through
adolescence and beyond. Contributors present cutting-edge theories and
findings pertaining to family, peer, school, community, media, and other
influences on individual development. The important, growing areas of
genetics and biology, cultural psychology, and affective science are given
particular attention. Essential topics include the effects on children of
different parenting strategies and family structures; factors that shape
gender development, emotional competence, and achievement motivation; the
role of relationships in the socialization process; and strategies for
intervention with antisocial youth.
