Social Influences and Socialization in Infancy (Hardcover)

From the Publisher: This collection describes and analyzes the various ways in which the development of very young children is facilitated and modified through social influence and socialization processes. Topics include the combined influence of family behavior and individual experiences, sibling influences, self knowledge, stimulation and operant-learning mechanisms, and the mutuality of parental control in early childhood. The increasing incidence of time spent in nonparental child care is one of the informing themes of many of these articles. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
