Definición

  • For most of the 20th century, anthropologists relied on theories from psychiatry and psychology to set the frameworks and questions for their studies of children, childhood, and socialization. Margaret Mead demonstrated this approach in her early work by calling for anthropologists to use their field sites as laboratories for putting Western theories of child training and personality development to the ethnographic test.
