Four kinds of social network supports (relational ideological, physical, and informational) and six social network agents (husband, friends, relatives, work associates, neighbors, and institutions) are considered. Ways in which each kind of support facilitates maternal and marital adaptation are discussed, along with implications of such support for influencing the nature of mother-child interactions. In addition, a case example (career women in transition) is presented to illustrate the predictive utility of the model. Policy and research implications of the present analysis follow.

Four kinds of parental socializing practices were recorded: behavioral socialization, cognitive socialization, parent-infant play, and short-term behavioral regulation. The majority of interactions fell into the cognitive socialization and short-term behavioral regulation categories. Parental socialization practices were geared to the child's developmental level: attempts to regulate infant attention and aggression decreased with age; attempts to engage infants in planful, self-regulated sequences of behavior (household responsibilities and prosocial behavior) increased. Mothers attempted to enforce more household rules than did fathers, and both mothers and fathers were more likely to discourage aggression and encourage prosocial behavior in their girls, an...

Method: Thirty-five severely abused children and 43 matched, nonabused children were compared on peer-rated sociometric status, self-reported loneliness, and observed and self-reported friendship quality. Results: Abused children were not rated significantly lower sociometrically, nor did they differ significantly from control children on several measures of friendship quality, such as resolving conflicts and helping each other. However, abused children were observed to be more negative and less proactive in their interactions. They also reported their friendships as being more conflictual, and as higher on betrayal and lower on caring. Only observational friendship variables predicted loneliness. Conclusions: The results challenge the assumption that abused children's peer relationships are uniformly more maladaptive than nonabused children's, and point to the possible benefits of structured interventions for "normalizing" their friendship interactions. The pattern of difficulties exhibited by abused children (e.g., conflict) provides foci for more specific interventions.

The family as the earliest and most pervasive socialization agent will be the focus of this article. To organize the issues, a family systems viewpoint, which emphasizes a variety of subsystems, including parent–child, marital, and sibling systems will be used. The following topics will be briefly covered, including mother–father differences in style of interaction, typological and parent–child interaction approaches to socialization, parents as advisors and providers of opportunities for social interaction. Marital and sibling relationships as contributors to children's development will be briefly considered. Determinants of family socialization strategies including child characteristics, social support, social ecological factors (e.g., socioeconomic status, SES), and ethnic background will be reviewed. The multidetermined nature of socialization will be emphasized by locating the family in a network of social influences.
