(FACTORS INFLUENCING SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT)
Education psychologists have described many such factors that affect the social development of a child. The following are more prominent
1. Heredity
Psychologists have established on the basis of their studies that heredity also has some effect on the social development of the child. Many examples of such great people are found in India, whose ancestors held high social values and they also had a predominance of social values. As a dynasty, he received these values from his ancestors. For example, the names of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru may be presented.
2. Family
There is more feeling of affection, love, cooperation etc. among the family members. All these have an impact on the socialization of the child. Many psychologists believe that the family is the first institution that educates children on etiquette and moral development to make them a worthy person. Some parents give love, affection, etc. to their children, but some parents do the opposite and scold, beat and abuse children. Psychologists have agreed that parents who show warmth towards children, develop social modesty and social behaviors in their children rapidly. Those children do not develop such qualities. Due to love and affection and affection from parents, children develop a sense of security, self-respect, confidence, etc.
Apart from the interaction between parents and children, other aspects of the family (family size, number of family members, physical environment etc.) also have an impact on the socialization of the child.
3. Peer Group
The specialty of a team made by boys is that all the children are almost the same age. The team teaches children to be democratic, rises above selfishness and anti-social views, and teaches them to work together with peers and at the same time gives them an opportunity to enhance their abilities and abilities by creating a sense of competition.
The peer group gives children from different families the opportunity to get close to each other and motivates them to practice socially approved behavior. In peer groups, children learn to understand and behave according to social values. Appropriate social attitudes develop in children from experiences gained by peers. The peer group gives members a satisfying satisfaction.
4. School -
The school not only educates the children but also sows the seeds of socialization among the children by informing them about social values, social norms and social norms.
5. Teacher
The personality of the teacher and the interactions he has with the students have a direct impact on the socialization of the child. It is generally seen that teachers themselves are full of social modesty and have affectionate interactions with children, so it gives encouragement to children, increases the ability of emotional and social adjustment in children. The adjustment of such children is rapid. The boys follow the teacher's behavior. Therefore, if the teacher is matadjusted by himself, then there is a problem of mismanagement in the children and their socialization process slows down. Hill and Atone (1977) found in a study that teachers who do more rewarding interactions with children tend to imitate children more than their behavior.
6. Emotional Development
The emotional development of the child also affects his social development. A child with a sense of affection and humor is eligible for affection, whereas on the contrary, a child with feelings of jealousy, anger, hatred and hatred is always ignored. In such a situation, there is bound to be a difference in social development of both. According to Crowe and Crowe - "Emotional and social development go hand in hand."
7. Physical and Mental Development
The social development of children who have good physical and mental health also takes place at the desired pace in the desired direction. Children who are physically specific, fat, very thin, short, etc. have to face neglect in their group or if the society makes them eligible for laughter, then inferiority complex takes birth in them, they are unable to establish adjustment from the society.
Children who are weak in mental health, live in anxiety and conflict, are victims of destiny, their socialization is not done properly. Such children become problematic children.
8. Neighborhood
Neighborhood plays an important role in the socialization of children. The child learns new behaviors by coming in contact with people from nearby neighborhoods. Together, they talk about different types of social problems that make them familiar with new ideals and incorporate them consciously or unconsciously into their personality. This accelerates the process of socialization. It develops social qualities like cooperative altruism.
