SOCIALIZATION
SOCIALIZATION

Simply means the process of learning ones society and its

culture. It is moreover the same as interacting, mingling
and being with other people or groups within/outside of
your society.
TYPES OF SOCIALIZATION
Primary or Childhood Socialization

This is also called basic or early socialization that refers to the

socialization of the infant. Much of the personality make-up of
individuals is forged at this period in life. It’s a means by
which the infant studies language and cognitive skills,
internalizes norms and values. Socialization at this stage of life
is a landmark; without it, we would cease to become social
beings
 children should be appropriately socialized from birth up to
particularly five years of age, because this period is a basic
and crucial one.
 A child who does not get appropriate socialization at this
stage will most likely be deficient in his/her social, moral,
moral, intellectual, and personality development.
 Some grew up developing anti-social attitudes, aspirations,
and practices.
 The primary socialization takes place in the family
Secondary or Adulthood Socialization

 The second type of socialization is secondary or adulthood

socialization.
 Socialization is a never-ending process that continues throughout
life.
 Secondary socialization is necessitated when an individual takes up
new roles, reorienting themselves according to their changed social
statuses and roles, as in starting marital life.
The socialization process at this stage may sometimes be intense.
For example, fresh college graduates entering the world of work
to start their first jobs, there are quite many new roles to be
mastered. Intense adult socialization may also occur among
immigrants. When they go to other countries, they may need to
learn the language, values, norms, and a host of other customs
and folkways, coupled with experiencing economic hardships
may prove to be truly stressful and most challenging.
De-Socialization:
De-socialization is the process of giving up or loss of old
norms, values, attitudes, and behavior patterns.
Re-Socialization (discard old behaviors and accept new
ones):

Re-Socialization is the process of discarding former

behavior patterns and accepting new norms, values,
attitudes, and behavior patterns as part of a transition in
one’s life.
Such re-socialization involves rejecting previous behavior
patterns and accepting new ones so the individual can shift
from one part of his life to another.
E.g. when a criminal is rehabilitated, he has to change his
role radically.
Anticipatory Socialization:

Anticipatory socialization refers to a process by which men learn the

culture of a group in advance with the anticipation (hope) of joining
that group or future role or status. As a person gets the proper beliefs,
values, and norms of status or group to which he seeks, he is learning
how to act in his new role.
E.g. a child anticipates parenthood (hopes to become a parent) which
he learns by observing his parents perform their daily roles.
Reverse Socialization (socialization from younger to older ones):

In most cases, the child learns from his/her parents i.e. the influence
flows from parents to the child. But, this role may be reversed, i.e. the
young people may influence and change the attitudes and behaviors of
their elders. E.g. the elders are more open to the influence of a teenager
in which they are seen to be having experiences such as the adoption of
technology, a new car, dressing style, etc.
How do you feel in a situation when
seem it that you don’t belong and you
are isolated?
Socialization is important
Through socialization, one learns the cultural language, their
roles in life, and what is expected from them.
Without socialization a person will develop different physical
and mental disabilities.
It is sad to know that individuals with no successful
socialization develop mental illness
ENCULTURATION
ENCULTURATION

Is the process by which people learn the

requirements of their surrounding culture and
acquire values and behaviors appropriate or
necessary in that culture.
 As an individual grows up in a social group, he/she learns
to understand his/her identity.
 Enculturation is both a conscious
. and an unconscious
conditioning process whereby man, as child adult, achieves
competence in his culture, internalizes his cultures and
become thoroughly enculturated.
 Socializing with people plays a great part in achieving it.
 An individual also learn from observing the surrounding he
she is in.
