The peculiarities of socialization of children and teenagers in Azerbaijani family (on field investigations in 1970–1990s)

Summary/Abstract: The article is written for the most part on the basis of the author’s original field investigations. It represents the main aspects of upbringing process in modern rural Azerbaijani families in the second half of the 20th century, as well as the relationship between new and traditional in the course of upbringing. Interrelation between members of a family, their part and status in the process of socialization of the rising generation are exhibited. The main methods of upbringing, which are accepted among Azerbaijanies are under analysis. The major part of the article is concerned with labor, physical and moral education. Ethnographic investigations in Azerbaijan give ground to the expectation that boys, as a rule, go through more intensive socialization than girls. Masculine roles are inculcated harder and more consistently than feminine ones. This is a direct result of the differentiation of socialization purposes: girls are trained mainly to do the housework, but boys are trained to do the public work outside the family. However, at present, socialization among girls reveals itself in orientation not only toward limited family roles, but also toward definite public activities.
