DIFFERENCES BY SEX, AGE AND GRADE IN SOCIALIZATION IN CHILDREN

ABSTRACT This study aimed to establish the differences in the socialization profile according to sex, age and school grade in school children in the municipality of Sincelejo, Colombia. A quantitative research was carried out with a non-experimental cross-sectional research design, and with a descriptive-comparative scope. The sample was made up of 101 children aged between 6 and 14. The instrument used was the BAS 1 socialization battery. The results obtained showed that there are differences between men and women in the dimensions of social sensitivity, respect - self-control and aggressiveness - stubbornness. In terms of school grade, there are differences between groups in the dimensions of leadership, social sensitivity, joviality, aggressiveness- stubbornness and apathy-withdrawal. The study reiterates the need to address the socialization process of children under a differential approach, promoting pedagogical-educational strategies that enable their treatment.
