Document Summary
The family: social systems perspective, a view of the family as a complex set of interacting relationships influenced by the larger social network, network of interdependent relationships. Bidirectional influences- all parties in the interaction influence each other. Direct influences-how people act with each other. Psychological control- behaviors that intrude on and manipulate children"s verbal expressions, individuality, and attachments to parents. 1: authoritarian child rearing- is low in acceptance and involvement, high in coercive control, and low in autonomy granting, permissive child rearing-is warm and accepting but uninvolved. Permissive parents are either overindulgent or inattentive and, thus, engage in little control. Grows out of a warm, cooperative relationship between parent and child based on a give-and-take mutual respect. 2: life in a single-parent family often is temporary. About 60% of divorced parent remarry within a few years. Parenting: supervision needed until age 8 or 9.
