The present paper aims to propose a possible ways of integrating analyses related with parental socialization with analyses related with parenting, caregiving and raising up/upbringing a child. A few theoretical analyses were proposed to this end. First, concept of socialization was discussed in its culture related and axiological aspects. Secondly, socialization theory with dimensions of socialization as proposed by Gruces and Davidov (2010) was described. Finally, the proposition of the hierarchical structuration of concepts under the study was formulated introducing relations between parental socialization, parental caregiving, as well as predominant in main stream English-language literature concept of parenting, and common in Polish literature concept of raising up/upbringing. Building the bridge connecting these concepts is needed for at least two reasons. On the one hand, it is needed for researchers connecting various concepts and theories of the lower level than socialization theory in their analyses, e.g., attachment theory in which parental caregiving is analyzed with parenting framework traditionally having different roots. On the other hand, bridging these concepts may be helpful in connecting Polish tradition of research on raising up/upbringing and main stream foreigner psychological research on parenting and socialization.
