ON THE PROBLEM OF ETHNOLOGICAL STUDY OF SOCIALIZATION

Abstract

This work deals with the problem of ethnological study of child socialization in family, which is one of the subjects of joint investigations by Ethnographic Institute of Slovak Academy of Sciences from Bratislava and Ethnographic Insti- tute of Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences from Belgrade. The author presents the theoretic and methodological framework of the survey, explains the subject and the sources in detail, and concentrates particularly on the techniques of fieldwork. At the end he mentions the initial results of his field investigations in villages of West and Central Serbia. He points out that they have perceived certain differences in family socialization of preschool and school children in traditional and modern villages which are important for the investigation of the consequences of that process on a personality.
