AP Psychology
Unit 6 – Developmental Psychology
Topic 6.1
How did the understanding evolve about the role of parents versus peers in socializing children?
Initially peers were seen as major social influencers but now only parents are considered vital.
We moved from considering both parents and peers irrelevant to focusing solely on parental influence.
The emphasis shifted from a peer-centric model to seeing siblings as the most significant influencers in social development.
From highlighting parents as sole influencers to acknowledging a significant role for peers as well.
