- Description:
- The purpose of this study was to determine what influence the socialization process as taught by the parents had on their children's social development and their future development as adults. The literature suggests that poor parent-child relationships and poor social skills may lead to later problems in peer relationships which could cause children to have problems forming relationships as adults. Previous studies involving parental influence on children's social development indicated that a correlation exists between parental involvement, the socialization process and children's future social development. The Social Development Perception Scale was used to obtain data needed to successfully complete this study. The subject pool consisted of thirty-three subjects from three universities in the Atlanta University Center. Descriptive statistics were used as a method to analyze the study data. Frequency analyses were also used as a method to organize the research data. The results of this instrument were determined by using descriptive analysis and central tendency data. Findings suggested that the survey participants indicated then- earlier socialization had an effect (whether positive or negative) on current social behavior. It was concluded that there was a significant relationship between parental involvement and the child's socialization process; children's peer relationships and children's future developmental outcome.
