REVIEW FROM THE PREVIOUS LESSON:
Socialization is unending process of learning through our own experiences
or through institutions we have in our communities (Shaefer, 2013).
As a review, what are the six (6) agents of socialization?
Socialization and Personality Development
In the process of personality development, socialization is always vital. Part
of our personality is the result of genes, but through socialization it is
shaped in a specific direction. This explains much of the variance between
personality types of individuals in the society in comparison to others
(O’Neill, 2011).
Socialization, Social Deprivation and
Personality development

Society encourages social interaction among

human beings to enhance personality
development. On the contrary, social deprivation
occurs when an individual is deprived of culturally
normal interaction with the rest of society
(Shaefer, 2013)
Socialization, Social Deprivation and
Personality development

Children who grow up without social

interaction are called feral children.

These children may have been

abandoned by their parents and grown up
in the wilderness. In other cases, they may
have been abused by parents who kept
them isolated from other people (Persell,
1990)
Family, Socialization and Personality
Development

Attachment theory argues that infants must

develop stable, on-going relationships with at
least one family member for a successful
physical, emotional and psychological
development. Attachment theory also focuses
on open, intimate, emotionally meaningful
relationships (O’Neill, 2011).

family;

formed by virtue of marriage.

relations but not actually based upon blood or marriage.

Descent: refers to a biological relationship
described in terms of ancestry or descendancy.
o Ancestor: the person from whom you descend
directly

Collateral Relations: those relatives who are linked

by a common ancestor (e.g. aunts, uncles, or
cousins)
