Research in the field of human social development is moving at an
astonishing pace. Within psychology, children's social behaviour
has attracted interest from cognitive, social, clinical, and
educational psychologists employing a wide variety of techniques
that range from conversational analysis to experimental designs.
Contributions have also come from beyond the domain of traditional
psychology such as evolutionary theorists, behaviour geneticists,
cultural anthropologists, and ethologists. This book aims to bring
the reader to the cutting edge of this work by including original
contributions from those in the very forefront of their discipline.
Each contributor has spent years working in their specialist area
and the authors have been given the freedom to argue for very
different positions on the origins and sequence of children's
social competence. The Social Child brings together controversial
and sometimes conflicting positions on issues of central importance
to society. It considers the likely impact of rising divorce rates
and single parenting, how media images affect children's
understanding and behaviour, how genes inform development, the role
parents have, whether changing sex roles have had an impact on
children's social interactions, and the sources from which children
acquire behaviour. This book will be relevant to those interested
in children's behaviour both professionally (social workers,
teachers, educational psychologists, therapists, youth workers) and
academically. It can also be used as a textbook for second and
third year undergraduates and by postgraduates.
