 Socialization -the process by which an individual learns how to interact with

others and becomes a member of society.socialization is a process by which
individuals acquire the knowledge,language,social skills and value to conform to
the norms and roles required integration into a groups or community.

 Socialization is complex,lifelong process.

 WHY IS SOCIALIZATION IMPORTANT?

 Socialization is the cultural process of learning to participate in a social group.

 This begins at birth and continues throughout life.

 Successful socialization enables people to fit into all kinds of social groups.

 Examples-socialization must occur for a high school freshman to adjust to their

new situation.
WHAT DOES SOCIALIZATION TEACH US ?

 Language

 Emergence of the social self.

 Culture(norms,values,beliefs,etc.)

 Understanding of others

 Understanding of ourselves as a social being or a “social self”.

DEFINITION OF THE SELF

 Self-the dimension of personality

 Composed of an individuals self- awareness and self-image.

 The self is inseparable from social experience

THEORIES ON SOCIALIZATION

 George Herbert Mead-the development of the social self.

 Charles Horton Cooley-the development of the ‘looking glass self”.

GEORGE HERBERT MEAD

 Argued that the social self developed out of social interactions with others.

 Social interaction involves seeing ourselves as others see us or taking the role of
the other .

 Taking the role of the other involves a constant interplay between “I” and the
“me”.
CONT…..

3 Components of the social self :

 The “I”-the subjective element of the self; involves the direct experiences of the
self; develops without language.

 The “Me”-the objective element of the self; involves how we look at others and
see ourselves; develops with language.

 The “Mind”- taking the roles of others; the interplay between I and Me.

 Taking the role of the other.

 Significant other- when children take the perspective of those who are most
important in their lives; performed through the use of language and symbols in
imitation, modeling or simple role playing after parents.

 Generalized other- when children take the roles of several others at once;
performed through the participation of children in complex games or sports
activities; children learn the shared expectations of an entire social group or
society as a reference point for evaluating themselves.
CHARLES HORTON COOLEY

 “The looking glass self”- pertains to the self-image that we have based on how
we suppose others perceive us; we imagine ourselves in the same way that others
see us; others represent a “mirror” in which we can see ourselves.
TYPES OF SOCIALIZATION

 Primary socialization- socialization that occurs without the subjects knowledge of

it .

 Secondary socialization-socialization that is purposeful and obvious.

 Anticipatory socialization-socialization that prepares people for future roles and

statuses.

 Reciprocal socialization-when children socialize parents like parents socialize

children.

 Re socialization - the process of unlearning old norms,roles,and values,and

learning new ones required in a new social environment.

 Total institution- a place where people are isolated people are isolated from the
rest of society for a set period of time and their lives are almost completely
controlled by officials who run the institution.

 Re socialization occurs in total institutions examples include prisons ,asylums and

the military.
AGENTS OF SOCIALIZATION

 Agent of socialization- an institution or group that prepares an individual for

social life and society.
THE FAMILY

 The most important agent of socialization,because it stands at the center of

children lives.

 Provides for basic need, and teaches children skills,cultural values,and attitudes
about themselves and others.

 Passes on to children a social position (places them in a society in terms of

race,ethnicity,religion and class).

 Socializes children into gender roles.

THE SCHOOL

 Schooling enlarges children s social world to include people with social

backgrounds different from their own.

 Formal schooling teaches children a wide range of knowledge and skills

 School is the childs first experience with bureaucracy.

 Socializes children into gender roles.

THE PEER GROUP

 Provides young people the experience in developing social relationships on their

own and establishing an identity apart from their family.

 Provides the opportunity to discuss interests not shared by adults.

 Provides a sense of belonging that eases the anxiety of breaking away from the
family.
THE MEDIA

 Spreads information on a mass scale,and functions to connect people.

 Influences our attitudes and behaviour through the images and messages it
conveys.

 Mirrors our societys patterns of inequality and rarely challenges the status quo.

 Reflects the values of the dominant culture.

PROCESSES OF SOCIALIZATION

 Total institutions-mental hospitals, cults and prison are the places where residents
are not free to manage their own lives, but, are controlled and manipulated by
those in change.

 Desocialization -the process by which people give up their own norms values,
and behaviors.

 Ex:same clothes .
HOW DOES RESOCIALIZATION BEGIN?

 Once self-concept had broken down-this begins-the process of adopting new

norms, values, attitudes and behaviors using rewards and punishments.

 Ex:time taken off sentence for good behavior.

ANTICIPATORY SOCIALIZATION

 Once self-concept had broken down-this begins-the process of adopting new

norms,values,attitudes and behaviors.

 Ex:teens who move to a new high school often have to re-learn new norms,etc.
