“…Indeed, families begin to socialize gender roles even in delivery rooms-boys are dressed in blue while girls are dressed in pink (or other colors that are symbolically attached to gender). From the moment that a baby enters the world it is inundated with symbols and language that shapes its conception of gender roles and gender stereotypes [20]. Language used by families to describe boys is often centered on physical characteristics and such themes as strength and agility, while language appropriated to girls by families might address affection, expressivity, daintiness, or fragility.…”

Gender socialization is examined through a social psychological lens by applying identity theory and identity control theory. Current research from the fields of family and sociological social psychology are surveyed to provide a better conception of how the family operates as agents of socialization, and how identities that are cultivated and fostered in youth provide meaning throughout the life course and maintain the social order. The application of identity theory shows how gender is a diffuse status characteristic, which is salient in person, role, and social (group) identities, and also across social situations. Identity control theory is applied to show how emotions operate within an internal control system to stabilize gendered identities and perpetuate the social structure. Both theories are specifically applied to understand socialization dynamics that exist for children and families.

“…The investment of personal resources in turn may result in closer relationship with the respective grandchildren. Traditionally, gender similarity theory arises from studying parent-child interaction and relationship (10,11). Early studies focus almost exclusively on maternal involvement with children since mothers traditionally are primary care-givers of the family.…”

Background: Attachment to grandparents has been deemed important for the healthy development of adolescents. Objectives: This study tests three competing arguments in regard to how gender may modify adolescent attachment to grandparents in Chinese context. Materials and Methods: Data used for testing hypotheses are drawn from survey responses of over 500 middle school students from Fuzhou city, China. Regression models assess the alternative hypotheses. Results:The results are in support of son preference claim showing greater attachment to both paternal grandfather and grandmother among boys than girls, while no gender differences are found in attachment to maternal grandparents. Further, gender differences sustain in sample containing all respondents as well as among singleton students only after controlling for grade level, parent education, family's financial status, parent divorce, co-residence with grandparents, and respondents' psychological and behavioral adjustments. Conclusions: Findings are discussed in light of gender inequality embedded in the cultural tradition and family dynamics of mainland China.

“…Potom, neplodnost mnogo više emocionalno pogađa ženu koja to često doživljava kao osobnu katastrofu, dok muškarcima neplodnost u braku predstavlja više problem zbog ženina nezadovoljstva i depresije nego zbog nemogućnosti ostvarivanja očinstva. Ukratko, čini se da je majčin-stvo bitan dio ženina identiteta, dok je očinstvo poželjna ali ne i neophodna muškarčeva uloga (Walker, 2000.). No sve više istraživanja pokazuju da postoji jedinstvena, zasebna veza otac-dijete, koja je nezavisna o vezi majka-dijete ili otacmajka.…”

“…ne stavlja naglasak samo na preuzimanje "majčinske prakse" nego i na drukčiji odnos očeva prema djetetu: ono naglašava važnost izražavanja topline i emocija, iskazivanje zaštite, brige i zanimanja za djetetovo zdravlje, napredak i uspješnost u školskoj i socijalnoj kompetenciji. Ispunjavanje očinske uloge i veće roditeljsko zadovoljstvo pristupnije je u očeva s djecom lakšeg temperamenta, u kvalitetnijim brakovima, oni koji su većega samopouzdanja i oni socijalno osjetljiviji, te oni koji su sigurniji i pripremljeniji za novu očinsku ulogu (Walker, 2000.). Mnoga istraživa-nja usmjerena su na otkrivanje ovisnosti očinske uloge o intenzivnosti majčine uloge.…”

Ključne riječi: obitelj, roditeljstvo, obrazovni programi za roditelje. UVODNO RAZMATRANJENeosporna je činjenica, roditelji su zaslužni da postoje djeca, roditelji su zaslužni da se društvo reproducira, da povijest teče. No, dalje od toga? Što znamo o njihovoj zasluzi za uspjeh djece, za sposobnost djece da se uključe u društvo na uspješan i koristan način, da budu sretna i da nastave roditeljsku ulogu te produženje ciljeva društva? A što znamo o njihovoj krivnji kada se ti ciljevi ne ispune, kad djeca izbjegavaju dužnosti, nemotivirana su, neuspješna u školi, pribjegavaju drogi i alkoholu, kradu, tuku se i ubijaju međusobno, bezosjećajna su i prema obitelji i društvu općenito, kad su depresivna, agresivna i suicidalna? Čija je krivnja? Društvo, škola i medicinski stručnja-ci spremni su tada okriviti isključivo roditelje. Roditelji okrivljuju društvo, školu i vršnjake. Ali i sebe. Neprestano se suoča-vamo s roditeljskim preispitivanjima: gdje i kada sam pogriješio, što moram raditi da ne pogriješim, kakav je dobar roditelj, što je kvalitetno roditeljstvo? A i društvo se pita kada i kako može, treba i mora pomoći roditeljima kada bi mogli dobro ispuniti svoju roditeljsku funkciju? No odgovori na ta pitanja vrlo su neizravni, jer su odnosi između roditeljskih postupaka, odnosa okoline i djetetovih razvojnih rezultata složeni, različiti u različitom opće društvenom kontekstu i u različitim razvojnim razdobljima.Pokušat ćemo u ovom tekstu potražiti odgovore na neka od ovih pitanja u golemom opusu psiholoških istraživanja roditeljstva i njegovih učinaka na dijete.Kao pojam roditeljstvo razumijevamo nekoliko skupina pojmova koje valja jasno odrediti kad se proučava i želi razlio kovati bit roditeljstva, oblici roditeljstva i utjecaji roditeljstva na djecu. Najprije razlikujemo skup pojmova koji pripadaju 45
