Parents, Peer Groups, and Other Socializing Influences.
Vandell, Deborah Lowe
Developmental Psychology, v36 n6 p699-710 Nov 2000
Critically examines three propositions of Harris' group socialization theory (1995, 1998) related to parents' long-term effects on children's psychological characteristics, peer groups' influences, and the nature of dyadic relationships. Maintains that available evidence is more consistent with a model of multiple socialization agents. Proposes a research agenda to permit more definitive tests of Harris' propositions and social relationship theory. (Author/KB)
