Patterns of interaction between the agents of socialisation

Publications in this chapter answer to the following research questions:

What are the patterns of interaction between children / young people, their peers and siblings, parents and teachers in the process of socialisation into the emerging information society? To what extent do parents mediate their children’s use of TV and the Internet, what kind of strategies do they use? How do socio-demographic and cultural factors (e.g. parents’ age, education and habits of media use) influence their strategies of mediation? How do pre-school teachers enhance children’s media literacy?
