Summary, etc. How to rear children so that they will become adequate adult<br/>members of the society to which they belong is an old and<br/>pervasive problem in human life. Socialization, therefore,<br/>occupies a place ot central importance for not only psycho-<br/>logists but ot her social scientists, cducators, and any one inter-<br/><br/>ested in human behaviour. It is both a mechanism of culture<br/><br/>transmision and survival and an aspect of culture. Further, it<br/>is considered as a major influence on the personality develop-<br/>ment. As a result, the study of socialization has come to occupy<br/>a place of crucial importance in psychology and other social<br/><br/>science disciplines.<br/>Studies by social anthropologists, psycho-analysts and more<br/>recently by cross-cultural psychologists have recognised not<br/>only the importance of socialization to personality, but also<br/>culture-specific differences in socialization practices. The<br/>society in which a neonate enters is already a going concern<br/>With its own pattern of child rearing practices and roles pres-<br/>ciibed for the growing child. The interaction of the child with<br/>his cultural setting in course of socialization has a lasting impact<br/>on his character and behaviour throughout his life-span.<br/>Cultural dififerences in child rearing practices have been found<br/>correlated with cross-cultural differences in personality. Since<br/>culture has a large part to play in the form of socialization<br/>practices prevalent in any society, it is essential that a proper<br/>study of socialization of the child is conducted in diverse<br/>cultures.<br/><br/>Despite the importance of culture to socialization, extensive<br/>and in depth analysis of the Indian child in relation to various<br/>Iacets of his behaviour has so far been largely neglected. It was<br/>With a view to focusing our attention on socialization processes<br/>specific to Indian culture and stimulating interest in this very<br/>Vital area that the Department of Psychology, Allahabad<br/>University, under its UGC Centre of Special Assistance<br/>organised a seminar from March 27-28, 1979, on the "Sociali-<br/>zation of the Indian Child." The four sessions that were<br/><br/>conducted dealt with (1) Process of SocialiZation among<br/>Different Cultural Groups, (2) Socialization and Psychological<br/>Differentiation, (3) Socialization of Affect: Identity, Prejudice,<br/>and Aggression, and (4) Methods for Studying Socialization.<br/>The areas covered are by n0 means exhaustive, but provide<br/>perspective on the kind of research strategies used in the study<br/>of socialization and some of the problems that have interested<br/>the investigators in India in this very interesting field. It is<br/>hoped that these papers will stimulate other investigators to<br/>delve deeper into processes of socialization typical of the<br/>Indian setting and their impact on ditferent facets of behaviour.<br/>In planning and organization of the seminar, Dr. (Mrs.)<br/>Meera Varma, Reader in Psychology in the Department played<br/>a significant role, and it is largely due to her effort that the<br/>seminar was successtully arranged. She also rendered valuable<br/>assistance in the revision and editing of the papers. Shalini<br/>Bisht, a research associate ih the Department also helped at<br/>various stages in the preparation of the manuscript for publi-<br/>cation. Thanks are also due to the various participants,<br/>especially those from outside Allahabad, who spared their<br/>valuable time in preparing the papers and taking part in the<br/>discussion. Gratitude is also expressed to the University<br/>Grants Commission for the provision of necessary funds to the<br/>Department which enabled us to organize the seminar.
