Studies of child socialisation have been carried out in a variety of perspectives. While in the earlier decades, concern for personality and other socio-emotional aspects of behaviour has characterised much of socialisation research, in recent years, the focus has shifted to the analysis of the effect of socialisation features on children’s cognitive development. Data obtained from observation and interviews are being supplemented by those collected in more contrived situations. The present article reports an empirical study with rural boys and girls of 8–12 years of age. Children were assessed in terms of a number of socialisation variables (e.g., parental control, helping, feedback) in a specially designed parent–child interaction situation. Socialisation variables involved in these assessments were found to be related to the development of psychological differentiation among children. The fi ndings have been interpreted in the context of the existing models, linking socialisation to cognitive development of children.
