Description
CHAPTER OVERVIEW AND CONNECTIONS TO OTHER CHAPTERS
Socialization is a major goal of all people and involves teaching children the values, mores, norms, and
roles of their culture. This task falls initially to the parents, which is why it is so important to focus on the
impact of parents on children’s socialization. This chapter examines the many socializing forces in a
child’s life, including family. The emphasis is on children of elementary school age, and covers
development from the years of approximately seven to twelve. In addition to the impact of family on
children’s development, this chapter also examines the role of divorce, remarriage, peers, and television
as sources of socialization. The authors emphasize the potent effects of parenting style by showing its
consequences for a child’s emotional and cognitive development, as well as its impact on peer
relationships. Also important are individual characteristics of children, as these often determine the
quality of parenting and the nature of peer interactions. Additionally, this chapter examines children’s
understanding of others in terms of their descriptions of others and the development of perspective-taking
and prejudice. The authors examine how socialization, parenting, and sibling relationships differ by ethnic
groups.
This chapter is closely related to the two preceding chapters. From Chapter 5, you can draw connections
between the development of empathy and positive peer relationships, attachment and parenting style, and
the social roles of gender and violence on TV; from Chapter 6, you can examine the impact of cognitive
development on changes in the complexity of peer relationships and the social networks of older children,
as well as the features of educational settings that enhance socialization.

XEA 406: Poverty and Development
Economic Growth
Economic growth and economic development are generally not one and the same thing but most
people use the terms interchangeably.
What is economic growth and how is it different from economic development?
Economic growth means increase in per capita income or sustained increase in a country's output
of goods and services.
Kenya’s Growth Performance
Kenya’s economic growth has followed an oscillating pattern since independence in 1963 as
shown in Figure 1. In 1964, the economy took an upward trajectory up to 1972 when the growth
took a nosedive but started rising again in 1975. Following two decades of stagnation in per
capita income and high volatility of economic activity, Kenya’s economy moved to a path of
accelerating growth after 2002 when a new government was sworn in. The rate of economic
growth increased steadily from below 1percent in 2002 to 7percent in 2007. Following the December 2007
elections, the country was hit by post election violence in January 2008 followed by global
financial crisis in 2008/2009 and this negatively impacted the rate of economic growth as shown
in Figure 1.

XEA 406-POVERTY AND DEVELOPMENT
Poverty Analysis and Measurement
Development deals with the alleviation or the eradication of poverty. Poverty is inter-related to other problems of underdevelopment.
In rural and urban communities, poverty can be very different.
In urban areas people often have access to health and education but many of the problems caused by poverty are made worse by things like overcrowding, unhygienic conditions, pollution, unsafe
houses etc. In rural areas there is often poor access to education, health and many other services but people
usually live in healthier and safer environments.
Since the alleviation of poverty is the most important aim of development work, we have to understand how to measure poverty. Development means that there has been some improvement and improvements must be measurable.

XEA 406-POVERTY AND DEVELOPMENT
Choosing and Estimating a Poverty Line
Once an aggregate income, consumption or non-monetary measure is defined at the household or
individual level, the next step is to define one or more poverty lines.
What is Poverty Line?
Poverty lines are cut-off points separating the poor from the non-poor. They can be monetary (for example a certain level of consumption) or non-monetary (for example a certain level of literacy). The use of multiple lines can help in distinguishing different levels of poverty

STA 434: SURVEY RESEARCH METHODS
The difference between research and non-research activity is, in the way we find answers: the process must meet certain requirements to be called research. We can identify these
requirements by examining some definitions of research.
Research is the process of conducting an organized and systematic way of finding answers to questions. This implies finding answers to questions by using reliable and valid laid
down procedures, methods and techniques within a framework of a set of philosophies (approaches). The process should always be unbiased and objective. “Scientific research is systematic, controlled, empirical, and critical investigation of natural phenomena guided by theory and hypotheses about the presumed relations among
such phenomena.” – Kerlinger, 1986.

Step 4: Preparing the Research Design
Research design is the conceptual structure within which research would be
conducted.
The function of research design is to provide for the collection of relevant information with
minimal expenditure of effort, time and money. The preparation of research design,
appropriate for a particular research problem, involves the consideration of the following:
1. Objectives of the research study.
