SPRINGERBRIEFS IN WELL-BEING AND QUALITY OF LIF...

The social sciences offer a variety of theories on how children develop  and various theories
and disciplines apply their own vocabularies and conceptualise different aspects of the
processes of socialization. This book looks at the theorizing of socialization in sociology 
anthropology  psychology  in the life course approach  and as the interplay of genetics and
environmental factors. It analyses the dominant perspectives and viewpoints within each
discipline and field  and shows how the various theories and disciplines apply their own
vocabularies and conceptualise different aspects of the processes of socialization. It argues
that socialization does not represent a fixed trajectory into a static social order  and that
different disciplines meet the challenges of complex developmental processes and changing
environments in different ways. Socialization is a fundamental concept in sociology  but
sociology has only to a limited degree sought to produce a coherent understanding of the
processes of socialization  which has to encompass the interplay of societal  psychological and
genetic factors. This book draws the threads together and  by doing so  offers a general
framework for our understanding of the socialization process. At the centre of this process is
the child as a subject  in an interplay with the patterns and significant others of the micro
environment as well as with the macro-conditions of the modern knowledge based economies.
