Research on the socialization of emotion has examined the role of parents’ behavioural responses to children’s negative emotions in the development of a number of psychosocial outcomes for children. Parents’ unsupportive socialization practices have predicted poorer social and emotional functioning both in childhood and later in adulthood. The current study aimed to broaden existing knowledge of the nature and impact of parent emotion socialization practices on emotion regulation. This was done through an exploration of the emotional, cognitive, and behavioural aspects of mothers’ responses to their children’s anger and sadness; by examining the impact of factors such as child gender and age as well as contextual factors on mothers’ responses; and by examining the impact of socialization practices on the development of emotion regulation. An online community sample of 114 mothers of 6- to 10-year-old children read a series of hypothetical situations in which they were asked to imagine their child responding with either anger or sadness. Mothers reported on their emotional responses, their acceptance of their child’s reaction, their causal attributions, and their socialization responses. Mothers also completed measures that assessed perceived social support, recent stressful life events, and the emotion regulation abilities of their child. Mothers were generally positive and supportive in their responses. Mothers were more likely to endorse negative responses to anger than sadness Responses did not differ according to the gender or age of the child. There was general consistency in the tendency to react positively or negatively. High levels of stressful life events predicted anger and punishment responses to child anger. Minimization of sadness was predicted by lower educational status. No other contextual factors were significant. As expected, minimization of sadness and anger both emerged as significant predictors of poorer emotion regulation in children; problem-focused responses predicted better emotion regulation for anger not sadness; unexpectedly emotion-focused responses to anger predicted poorer emotion regulation. Results are discussed in relation to the existing literature on the socialization of emotion and child outcomes. Limitations of this study and future directions for the research are discussed.

Tyrimo pagrindinis tikslas buvo išanalizuoti miesto ir kaimo vyresniojo mokyklinio amžiaus mergaičių ir berniukų pozicijas, vertinant jų socialinį elgesį. Šiam tikslui pasiekti buvo iškeltos dvi hipotezės, iš kurių abi pasitvirtino. Pagal anketinius rezultatus gavome, kad miesto vaikai yra labiau linkę nusižengti nei kaimo ir kad Kauno paaugliai labiau toleruoja netinkama elgesį nei provincijos vaikai. Apibendrintus rezultatus palyginę su koreliaciniai ryšiai tarp nagrinėjamų segmentų, pastebėjome, kad hipotezės dar kartą pasitvirtino ir sutapo su anketiniais duomenimis: miesto vaikai yra labiau linkę nusižengti nei kaimo; ir antra hipotezė pasitvirtino. / The main object of the study is to analyze the positions of urban and rural older school-age girls and boys in terms of their social behavior. To achieve this, there have been two hypotheses, one of which is rejected. According to the received questionnaire results, in urban schools children are more likely to misdemeanor than rural teens while Kaunas teenagers tolerate inappropriate behavior more than their peers in province. Comparison of the aggregated results with the correlation between the analyzed segments shows that the hypothesis is confirmed again and coincides with the questionnaire data that urban children are more likely to misdemeanor than rural; and the hypothesis that both urban and rural boys are more prone to misconduct than girls is not proved.

In this work author analyses social functions of law and their realization in Lithuania. Social destination of law and separate ranges of social functions of law are analyzed separately. Author highlighted the key problems of person`s socialization in Lithuania. In his opinion they are closely connected to implementation of social functions of Law. Analyzing the work of Lithuanian “Seimas” it is amplified that there must be a tight link between society and legistrator which is in the form of open dialogue with domination of reciprocal trust and understanding. Studying the problems of implementation of social functions of Law in system of courts, first of all is amplified that courts as institutions responsible for legality’s consolidation in the country, implementation of social functions of law is more restricted than law – creative parties. After realizing the fact of human rights breach in society and some kind of deflections from stable life settled in society, the court (judge) cannot remove risen problems by himself. An initiative of society’s citizens for endeavouring the justice is needful. Overlooking the problems of implementation of social functions of Law in LR “Seimas” controllers activity, author states that controllers without the help of law – creative party can not eliminate deflection that was discovered in the rule. Discovering a deflection as a statement of fact is not enough for aiming to affect positively the processes of socialization that run in... [to full text]
