Primary School Age

In the course of a study of families containing children of primary school age, we have collected detailed social and medical histories of the parents. In earlier papers (Ryle and Hamilton, 1962; Hamilton et al., 1962) based upon part of the population studied here, we have confirmed the reliability of the Cornell Medical Index (C.M.I.) as an indicator of neurosis. The aim of the present paper is to investigate whether social factors within a relatively homogeneous, largely working-class population, are related to neuroticism. While differences in the rate of neurosis between the social classes have often been described, interpretations of these differences are difficult because they may be due not only to variations in the rate of illness but also to differences in the mode of presentation, in symptomatology or in attitudes to medical treatment or to research enquiry. On the other hand, in studying a population such as ours, with small social class differences, the range of social factors available for measurement is reduced.

The present paper continues our study of the parents of children of primary school age, in a sample taken from one of the authors' N.H.S. list. The details of the selection of this population, the methods of data collection, and the absence of any relationship between various social factors and neuroticism, were described in a previous paper (Pondet al.,1963) and are not repeated here. In this paper we report upon the marital history and adjustment of the parents of these 100 families, and investigate the relationship between neuroticism and these factors.

The process of development in preschool and primary school age implies the expansion of contacts with the social environment and, accordingly, the opportunities for full and diverse communication. There are new real and virtual models, in addition to parents, for imitation and identification, the process of social learning is developing in terms of attempts to model social relationships. The game-cognitive situations for stimulating prosocial behavior (behavior aimed at external observance of social norms) presented and tested in the educational process in the kindergarten are a consequence of a study of the life values and educational orientations of the modern Bulgarian family, as well as the notions of 5–7-year-old children about the needs and claims between children, teachers and parents, their ideas of good and evil, likes and dislikes of peers. They can also be realized in the system of the primary level of primary education in the classroom.

Primary School Age

The article provides a review of ideas about social intelligence and information about severity of its various components in primary school age. During this period, the development foundations are laid for the next age stages, and social intelligence is the foundation of personal development. The review given by the authors showed that at the beginning of primary school age, social intelligence is at a low or medium level of development. Throughout the entire age period, the development of individual components occurs heterochronously. The child is consistently mastering social skills and is better aware of himself; these tendencies are distorted by the excessive enthusiasm for computer games. The regulation of their emotions and social sensitivity are initially more characteristic of girls, at the end of the period – to the same or greater extent in boys whose development of the emotional component of social intelligence is slowed down. At the behavioral level, the underdevelopment of the social intelligence of younger students is manifested in the difficulties of adapting to school life and communicative problems. Thus, social intelligence developed in primary school age ensures the use of optimal behaviors in interaction with others, satisfaction with family and school life.

Representative System

From the analysis of the social background of the local elected people in Flanders during the period 1946-1988 one can conclude that there are barriers for women, lower social classes and certain age categories preventing them from moving up the local political elite. The democratization process of the Flemish local political elite bas not yet made much progress. It appears from the fact that men are more numerous in political fonctions, that the distribution among the various professional categories strongly deviates from the general social stratification and from the conclusion that certain age categories are clearly dominant. It is however clear that the composition of the elites neverfully reflect society as a whole. On the other hand, the important fact is that the differences cannot be reduced to smaller variances which inevitably go together with any representative system.

The present article addresses the Romanian novelistic production between 1901 and 1932 in the attempt of identifying a series of patterns regarding the protagonists’ social mobility. Starting with the most mentioned destinations throughout the novels, I analyse how and why the different social classes travel and try to determine the landmarks between which they dispute their physical presence, on the one hand, and their aspirations, on the other. On this basis, the second part of the article conducts a quantitative analysis of the major means of transport in the period – the train, the tramway, the coach/carriage, the automobile, the aeroplane, the ship, and the waggon – and attempts to pinpoint what they convey about the social mobility of the characters that use them.

The Decennial Supplement on Occupational Mortality published in 1978 commented on mortality differences between the social classes (Chapter 8) using data from the 1971 Census and the deaths in the period 1970–72. The analysis was based on life tables prepared for the individual social classes from which derived indices, for example expectations of life, were calculated. It is proposed here to repeat this exercise using the data for males recently published in microfiche form by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys—OPCS. This time, the Decennial Supplement has omitted to provide an analysis and commentary and we propose to make some attempt to remedy this deficiency. In our analysis, the Decennial Supplement data have been supplemented by data from the OPCS Longitudinal Study.

SummaryThis paper analyses the socioeconomic and health care determinants responsible for the decline over the last two decades in infant mortality in Kuwait. Published data and the results of a national health survey conducted in 1984–85 show the following. With the overall affluence of the society, health care in terms of immunization has improved dramatically and more than 90% of all children are covered. Of all births, 99% now occur in a hospital or clinic. About half of the mothers continue to breast-feed their babies for about 16 months. Despite these favourable conditions, differences still exist between social classes. The risk of stillbirth remains much higher among the poorer women, those without any education and those who gave birth at home. These findings are consistent with developed countries like the USA and Japan, where the social class differences in mortality still persist.

SummaryStudies of school age children who were severely malnourished in infancy have focused primarily on somatic growth and intelligence, but information about behaviour is almost completely lacking. In this study the social behaviour of 71 Jamaican school boys who were severely malnourished in infancy (index subjects) is compared with that of classmates of the same age and sex (comparisons) and also with the nearest sibling of the same sex where available. The child's behaviour in his home setting was assessed through an interview with the child's parent or parent substitute. It was found that the index children differed significantly from their comparisons in several ways. They were less liked by siblings and more unhappy at school. They more often behaved immaturely, were more clumsy and were either more highly active or lethargic. They were also more often withdrawn, solitary or unsociable. Differences between index boys and their siblings were not statistically significant on individual questions but were in the same direction as the index-comparision differences. No relationship was found between the age when admitted to hospital for malnutrition and later behaviour. Examination of the aetiological role of malnutrition and other biological and social factors is the next step in the present study.
