“…However, in general, the joint-action events examined were expected to have developmentally facilitating effects. Simultaneous vocalizing between parents and infants was assumed to reflect the early form of verbal communication that increasingly becomes one of the primary methods of the socialization process in later childhood and adolescence (Bearison, 1979; Steinberg, 1981; Thorlindsson & Wieting, 1981). Parent vocalization while infant attends to objects and simultaneous parent and infant attention to objects were assumed to represent parental mediation, in the process of infants' exploration of the object world, that has been found to facilitate learning and development (Klein & Feuerstein, 1984).…”

Four parent-infant joint-action variables were derived by combining parents' vocal or object-stimulation behaviors with infants' vocal or object-directed behaviors observed in the home setting. Measures of simultaneous vocalization, joint-object play, parent-vocalize/infant-object play, and infantvocalize/parent-object stimulation were constructed to represent social-construction experiences in which shared actions between infants and parents are thought to contribute to infants' cognitive development. The analyses (based on 66 infants and their parents) focused on the normative changes and stability of individual differences of these measures from 6 to 12 months and their relations with 30-month cognitive-development status. The durations of all measures increased with age. All jointaction measures showed consistency across time and the 12-month mother-infant (but not fatherinfant) joint-action measures were strongly related with 30-month McCarthy scores.

“…Various forms of parent-child communication have been reported to affect adolescent social development. For example, parent-adolescent communications in which free expression of opinions is valued more than deference to social status are associated with higher levels of moral judgment (Thorlindsson & Wieting, 1981) and political understanding (Chaffee, McLeod, & Wackman, 1973). Further, family communication patterns are seen to undergo changes as adolescents grow older.…”

Adolescents' perceptions of discussions with parents and friends were examined with reference to the academic/vocational, social/ethical, family, and peer domains. A total of 180 subjects completed a paper-and-pencil questionnaire: 30 males and 30 females represented each of three age groups: 12-13-, 14-15-, and 18-20year-olds. Discussion levels for parents remained substantial across ages in the academic/vocational, social/ethical, and family domains. Discussions with friends about these domains increased with age, and peer relationship issues were discussed more with friends than with parents in all age groups. For mutuality of discussion, parents tended to explain their views more than they tried to understand the adolescents' views in all domains. Friends' efforts to explain and to understand did not differ significantly for most domains. The findings are discussed in terms of the differences in procedures of social construction between parents' and friends' socializing influences. 162-163.

“…In a somewhat different vein the history of rock music in Iceland has been treated from the perspective of how foreign cultural influence can be absorbed and transformed in local terms (Gudmundsson 1984;Gudmundsson & Olafsdottir 1987). Moreover, one researcher has, among other things, examined the cultural impact of the American Nato base stationed in Keflavik (Hallsson 1990 Thorlindsson 1981Thorlindsson , 1983Thorlindsson , 1987Thorlindsson & Wieting 1981;Svavarsdottir, Palsson & Thorlindsson 1984;Adalbjarnardottir 1992Adalbjarnardottir , 1993. Furthermore, the gap between state church dogma and the belief system of the population (Bjornsson & Petursson 1990) and the relation between social and cultural change and the development of various religious communities have been studied (Petursson 1990).…”

The economic, social and cultural transformation of Icelandic society in the 20th century has had a profound impact on the development of Icelandic sociology Sociologists have focused on social conditions, both in terms of historic and emerging social processes and in the vanous social and cultural problems associated with the development of Icelandic society. The surprising diversity found within the small Icelandic sociological community suggests that the fragmentation of sociology on the international level does not stem from the growing number of sociologists, but reflects the multiparadigmatic nature of the sociological discipline Icelandic sociologists tend to work in dialogue with practitioners and enthusiasts in their field of study, researchers from other disciplines working in the same area and, on the international level, within specific sociological research paradigms Moreover, they have had close contacts with the general public through the popular media, which has in turn made sociology highly visible and recognized in the wider society. As Icelandic sociology matures, we expect to see a stronger theoretical emphasis and a shift towards more longitudinal and comparative research.
