JARAMILLO PEREZ, Jorge Mario; PEREZ ALVAREZ, Laura  and  RUIZ CUBILLOS, María Isabel. Relationship between academic level and socialization goals in mothers of preschoolers. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.12, n.1, pp.13-25. ISSN 1794-9998.  https://doi.org/10.15332/s1794-9998.2016.0001.01.

This research examined how academic level of mothers of preschoolers relates to their socialization goals. Using a mixed methodology, structured interviews were applied to 172 mothers of children between 3 and 4 1/2 years old, who lived in Bogotá and several municipalities of the Cundinamarca-Boyacá area. The interviews were analyzed through categorical content analysis to calculate the frequency with which different socialization goals were mentioned, and to examine whether there was a significant relationship between the level of education of mothers and their preference for socialization goals associated with independence and / or interdependence. The results indicate that the higher the educational level, the greater the emphasis on socialization goals associated with independence.

Keywords : Maternal schooling; socialization goals; preschool children.
