BAIRRAO, Joaquim et al. Socialisation settings attended by four-year old children in Portugal: A national survey, 1988. Psicologia [online]. 2010, vol.24, n.1, pp.5-15. ISSN 0874-2049.

Child socialisation settings as well and the way they intertwine to form daily and weekly routines, play an outstanding role in children’s development. In order to know the organization and diversity of Portuguese four-year-olds’ socialisation settings, a survey was conducted on a national representative sample, within the scope of a larger international project. 581 four-year old Portuguese children and their families participated in this study: 298 were boys and 283 were girls. A face-to-face interview at the family home was used to collect data. Results characterised children’s weekly and daily routines, as well as the settings they attended and their main features.

Keywords : children socialization settings; survey; daily routine; weekly routine.
