This comprehensive research work explores the psychosocial and educational dimensions of being an only child in today’s family structures. Divided into five analytical chapters, the study investigates how family dynamics shape the socialization process and school performance of children without siblings. The first chapter presents a theoretical foundation, covering contemporary socialization theories, learning mechanisms, and the influence of the family environment in early education.
Chapter II focuses specifically on the characteristics of single-child households, addressing psychological overcompensation (hyperaffectivity), parental roles, and how marital behavior influences child development. Chapter III shifts to the academic implications, studying how familial climate and parental attitudes directly impact school achievement, motivation, and cognitive-social adjustment.
Chapter IV details the research design, including problem identification, hypothesis formulation, methodology, and tools used. Chapter V presents the results, followed by data interpretation and final conclusions. Supporting sections include annexes with research instruments and a full bibliography.
This thesis is a valuable resource for educators, psychologists, and researchers studying child development, family sociology, and educational outcomes in modern family contexts. It offers theoretical depth, practical insights, and data-driven conclusions on a relevant and increasingly observed phenomenon: the socialization challenges and strengths of the only child.
