Dance Education in Promoting Children's Sociality and Study on the Role and Mechanism of Emotion Development

As a unique form of education, dance education has a significant impact on children's social and emotional development. Through dance activities, while enjoying the charm of art, children can learn social rules and emotional expression through body language and collective interaction, thus enhancing social communication ability and emotional regulation ability. Dance education not only improves children's physical coordination and creativity, but also promotes the cultivation of empathy and the development of self-cognition through non-verbal emotional communication. This study deeply discusses the mechanism of dance education in children's social and emotional development, and provides a valuable reference for preschool education practice.

Water People: Genocide, Children, and Nature in Canadian Residential Schools

ABSTRACT This paper focuses on connections between Indigenous Peoples and water to better understand the cultural destruction wrought by residential schools. We begin with an overview of how genocide studies address connections between childhood socialization and the natural world, and how human links to nature are impacted by genocide. This point is further illustrated through a discussion of the centrality of water within Anishinaabe culture, whereby relationships with water contribute to the process of becoming Anishinaabe. We note that childhood is an important time for the development of water relations. Residential schools interrupted these relationships by transforming water into a tool of violence, compelling Indigenous children to reimagine their connection to water through the lens of settler capitalism and Judeo-Christian morality. Drawing on Survivor testimonies of their childhood and relationships with water before, during, and after residential schools, we demonstrate how their ability to co-create themselves as Anishinaabe with water was stifled in residential schools. We also note Survivor testimonies where water is engaged to resist assimilation and heal trauma, evidencing how the natural world can play an ambivalent role in projects of cultural destruction.

Parenting Patterns and Child Behavior

This study aims to compare the parenting patterns of single and full parents and their impact on child behavior in Sementara, Pantai Cermin Sub-district, Serdang Bedagai Regency, Indonesia. Parenting plays a crucial role in shaping a child's personality and future. Based on Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory, the home environment, especially parental parenting, has the greatest influence on child development. This study focuses on three parenting styles: authoritarian, democratic, and permissive. Authoritarian parenting is characterized by strict rules and limited freedom, while democratic parenting prioritizes the child's interests and involves discussions between parents and children. Permissive parenting provides loose supervision and unrestricted freedom for children to behave and act as they wish. Previous studies have shown that single mothers tend to apply authoritarian parenting, resulting in spoiled children with difficulty interacting, while single fathers tend to apply permissive parenting, leading to more independent children who are easier to make friends. Additionally, authoritarian, democratic, and permissive parenting styles have been associated with aggressive behavior in children, obtained through social learning. Democratic parenting has been found to increase children's motivation and achievement at school, while authoritarian parenting inhibits children's socialization skills. This study provides important insights into the impact of parenting patterns on child behavior in the context of single and full parents in Sementara, Indonesia.

The Influence of Parental Prosocial Behavior on Children's Participation in Volunteer Activities

Modern society is assumed to be pragmatic, selfish, and individualistic. However, this assumption seems to be refuted by the results of several surveys conducted in Indonesia, which show a trend of increasing prosocial behavior and volunteerism in society. It is interesting to study prosocial behavior in society, especially among students, because students are bound by the tri dharma of higher education, which includes the principles of community service. This research does not deny the role of socialization in individual behavior. Therefore, this study aims to examine the influence of parents' prosocial behavior as the primary socialization agent on the participation of child (student) volunteers. This research uses a correlation study method with the moderating variables socialization and children's prosocial behavior, which are then tested as the dependent variable with socialization as the moderating variable. The population in this study were all university students in East Java. The sample in this study was taken using a purposive sampling technique. The study sample consisted of 100 people, with details of 50 from Surabaya and 50 from Sidoarjo. This research uses several SPSS tests such as Pearson correlation, MRA regression test, t-test, and others. This study's results indicate a small influence between parents' prosocial behavior and child volunteer participation. The moderating variables of children's socialization and prosocial behavior have strengthened the influence between variables.

Soundscapes of infant care and infant-directed communication in two hunter-gatherer societies

This study contributes an ethnographic perspective to the study of infant-directed (ID) communicative activities. We compare soundscapes of infant care and ID vocal communication in two egalitarian, forest-dwelling, mobile hunter-gatherer groups: Mbendjele BaYaka/Aka in Northern Congo-Brazzaville and the Maniq of Southern Thailand. Across the unique patterns of speech and song specific to these different cultures, common threads emerged in infants’ soundscapes that suggest the centrality of musically enriched ID-speech for communication with infants. A conspicuous under-elaboration of music among Maniq people suggests that while musical activity in a culture may vary greatly, ID-speech does not. The ID-speech register thus emerges as more central to childhood socialisation and development in these hunter-gatherer societies than does the ID-song register. Although the use of lullabies (ID-song) by mothers has been claimed to be a human universal ( Trehub 2001 ; Mehr et al 2019 ) the ethnography from these hunter-gatherer societies supports Takada’s (2020:139–142) conclusion that ID-speech and song demonstrate important cultural diversity. This paper contributes to ethnographic accounts of the diversity of ways that cultures organise communicative exchanges with children.

Shaping a moral body in family dinner talk: Children's socialization to good manners concerning bodily conduct

The family meal has been extensively investigated as a site for children's acquisition of eating-related behaviors and attitudes, as well as culture-specific rules and assumptions. However, little is known about children's socialization to a constitutive dimension of commensality and even social life: good manners concerning bodily conduct. Drawing on 20th century scholarship on body governmentality and good manners, and building on recent studies on family meal as a socialization site, the article sheds light on this overlooked dimension of family commensality. Based on a corpus of more than 20 h of videorecorded family dinner interactions collected in Italy, and using discourse analysis, the article shows that family mealtime constitutes a relevant arena where parents control their children's conduct through the micro-politics of good manners. By participating in mealtime interactions, children witness and have the chance to acquire the specific cultural principles governing bodily conduct at the table, such as “sitting properly”, “eating with cutlery”, and “chewing with mouth closed”. Yet, they are also socialized to a foundational principle of human sociality: one's own behavior must be self-monitored according to the perspective of the generalized Other. Noticing that forms and contents of contemporary family mealtime talk about good manners are surprisingly similar to those described by Elias in his seminal work on the social history of good manners, the article documents that mealtime still constitutes a privileged cultural site where children are multimodally introduced to morality concerning not only specific table manners, but also more general and overarching assumptions, namely the conception of the body as an entity that should be (self)monitored and shaped according to moral standards.

Équipe mobile intersectorielle pour enfants confiés (EMI-ECO), un dispositif au plus près des enfants de l’aide sociale à l’enfance

EMI-ECO is a mobile team working with children under the age of 12 entrusted to the Children's Social Welfare Agency (Aide Sociale à l’Enfance). Its aim is to identify and assess developmental or mental disorders, organize care for these children and work in partnership with all the teams caring for these youngsters (Child Welfare Agency, Maternal and Child Protection, Centre médico-psychologique/Centre médico-psycho pédagogique). Intervention takes place across a geographical area corresponding to the intersectors of the two hospitals that created the team (AP–HM and CHS Valvert), i.e. the south and east of Marseille, La Ciotat, Aubagne and Cassis. This territory was defined to be coherent and to enable more effective interventions. In this work, we present the implementation and initial results of an innovative system, namely a mobile team working as close as possible to the living environment and ecosystem of children entrusted to the child welfare system. We will also illustrate our remarks with two clinical cases of children cared for by our unit. Caring for these children involves a real investment on the part of the professional and a major partnership effort. We hope that the presentation of our system will enable other teams to adopt it and adapt it to the particularities of their field of intervention.

Evaluating the Relation Between Mothers' Depression Level and Their Cochlear Implanted Children's Social Performance.

Since the child's sensorineural hearing loss and its negative consequences, including weak social skills, is one of the most challenging problems for parents and other family members, the main aim of the present study is to investigate if there is any probable relation between the cochlear implanted children's social performance and their mothers' depression level,in this cross-sectional observational analytic research, we implemented the Beck Depression Inventory version- II to evaluate the level of depression in 29 mothers of cochlear implanted children. Also, we assessed their children's social abilities through the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale. Finally, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) was carried out to find any probable relation between the mothers' depression level and their children's social performance. The mean difference was significant at the 0.05 level,results indicated no significant difference in the mean social performance of the children mothers encountered with mild or moderate degrees of depression. However, the mean social performance of the children with severely depressed mothers was significantly less than the others,severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss in children might cause various degrees of depression in mothers. Mothers who suffer from severe depression cannot effectively communicate with their children. Consequently, the child will not improve in social interaction well.

From Protest to Child-Rearing: How Movement Politics Shape Socialization Priorities

Abstract Classic political behavior studies assert that childhood socialization can contribute to later political orientations. But, as adults consider how to introduce children to politics, what shapes their decisions? We argue socialization is itself political with adults changing their socialization priorities in response to salient political events including social movements. Using Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests and race socialization as a case, we show the summer 2020 information environment coupled movement-consistent concepts of race with child-rearing guidance. A survey of white parents after the summer activism suggests that many—but especially Democrats and those near peaceful protest epicenters—prioritized new forms of race socialization. Further, nearly 2 years after the protests’ height, priming BLM changes support for race-related curricular materials among white Americans. Our work casts political socialization in a new light, reviving an old literature, and has implications for when today’s children become tomorrow’s voters.

The sociocultural context of adolescent pain: portrayals of pain in popular adolescent media.

Research has consistently suggested that media consumption plays a vital role in children's socialization, including the socialization of painful experiences. Past research examining young children's popular media revealed worrisome trends in media depictions of pain; it consisted of narrow depictions of pain, gender stereotypes, and an overwhelming lack of empathy from observers, which could contribute to pain-related stigma. Research has not yet examined how pain is portrayed in adolescent media, despite adolescence being the developmental period when chronic pain often emerges. The current study extracted a cross-section of popular adolescent media selected based on popularity, including 10 movies and the first seasons of 6 TV shows. Pain instances were coded using 2 established observational coding schemes assessing sufferer pain characteristics and observer responses. Across 616 instances of pain, there was a preponderance of violence and injuries, whereas everyday, chronic-type, and medical/procedural pains were seldom represented. Individuals from marginalized (ie, gender diverse, girls) and minoritized groups (individuals with racialized identities) were underrepresented in pain instances. Furthermore, regardless of observed gender or "race," observers displayed a lack of empathy for sufferers and rarely engaged in prosocial behaviors. Popular media may serve as an agent of socialization in adolescence; thus, pain depictions may be a powerful force in propagating pain-related stigma and inequities. An opportunity exists to harness popular media to adaptively and accurately portray pain to adolescents.

Human behavior in philosophical and legal understanding: children's aspects during military actions

The article examines the origin of the concept of human behavior. It was found that human behavior became the subject of study in various fields of knowledge. The origins of the formation of the concept of human behavior go back to Antiquity, which can be traced in the works of famous philosophers and thinkers. In this period, the concept of justice and coexistence of members of society was considered. It was established that Christianity had a significant influence on human behavior, which became the starting point in the formation of human behavior, worldview and, as a result, the creation of formal rules that gradually spread to all spheres of human existence. Historical events that were important for changing paradigmatic ideas about human behavior can also be traced during the First and Second World Wars, because it was during these tragic times that the very value of a person and his life, health, honor and dignity acquired a different color, which also influenced behavior and its interpretation. Human behavior can be considered based on age, value, social, moral, somatic, economic, labor, political markers, etc. The formation of human behavior begins at an early age, and parents are primarily agents of the child's socialization and guides to an independent life and in the process of the child's initial learning of his own reaction to events and the differentiation of positive and negative behavior, which builds the basic framework for his further interaction with the surrounding world. All these components affect the further formation of certain standard patterns in a person, which he subconsciously uses as a reaction to the surrounding world. Considerable changes that took place in the post-war period and in the postmodern period are studied. Attention is focused on the change in human behavior in the present.
 The impact of the war on the behavior of children and youth, which underwent significant changes, was analyzed.

The development and diversity of religious cognition and behavior: Protocol for Wave 1 data collection with children and parents by the Developing Belief Network.

The Developing Belief Network is a consortium of researchers studying human development in diverse social-cultural settings, with a focus on the interplay between general cognitive development and culturally specific processes of socialization and cultural transmission in early and middle childhood. The current manuscript describes the study protocol for the network's first wave of data collection, which aims to explore the development and diversity of religious cognition and behavior. This work is guided by three key research questions: (1) How do children represent and reason about religious and supernatural agents? (2) How do children represent and reason about religion as an aspect of social identity? (3) How are religious and supernatural beliefs transmitted within and between generations? The protocol is designed to address these questions via a set of nine tasks for children between the ages of 4 and 10 years, a comprehensive survey completed by their parents/caregivers, and a task designed to elicit conversations between children and caregivers. This study is being conducted in 39 distinct cultural-religious groups (to date), spanning 17 countries and 13 languages. In this manuscript, we provide detailed descriptions of all elements of this study protocol, give a brief overview of the ways in which this protocol has been adapted for use in diverse religious communities, and present the final, English-language study materials for 6 of the 39 cultural-religious groups who are currently being recruited for this study: Protestant Americans, Catholic Americans, American members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Jewish Americans, Muslim Americans, and religiously unaffiliated Americans.

Longitudinal relations among parent-child relationships, positivity, and teachers-student relationships in Chinese children.

Relationships with parents and teachers are crucial to a child's socialization. However, little is known about the transactional processes between parent-child and teachers-student relationships and their mediating mechanisms. This short-term longitudinal study examined bidirectional relations between positive parent-child and teachers-student relationships, and the potential mediating role of positivity within these relations. There were 3,450 Chinese children (44.8% girls; Mage = 10.93 years) who participated in a four-wave longitudinal study, spaced 6 months apart. The random intercept cross-lagged panel modeling found: (a) both father-child and mother-child relationships directly predicted teachers-student relationships, and vice versa; (b) positivity functioned as a mediator in bidirectional relations between parent-child and teachers-student relationships. These results support a transactional spillover effect between parent-child and teachers-student relationships, suggesting Chinese children may become caught in a virtuous cycle either directly or indirectly via their positivity.
