Risk factor (socialization)
In the context of socialization , risk factors are factors that endanger the healthy development of a child.
Details
Risk factors can be, for example:
- poverty
- Mental illness in one or both parents
- Belonging to a discriminated minority such as African American or Hispanics
- Family disharmony
- Parents abuse alcohol or drugs
- Parents' low level of education
- Parental crime
- Frequently changing partnership of parents
- Growing up in socially disadvantaged areas or residential areas with a high percentage of crime
- very young parents
- Growing up in an adoptive or foster family
- Origin from a large family
- Siblings with a disability, learning disorder, or behavioral disorder
- Negligent parenting style
A single risk factor usually doesn't matter. However, if several risk factors occur together, the child becomes overwhelmed with coping. Only then do negative consequences appear, which are stronger the more additional risk factors are added. (see also: multiple deprivation )
