Socialization

Primary Socialization

The process by which we become aware of ourselves as part of a group, learn to communicate with others, and learn how to behave as expected

A culture’s most basic values, which are passed on to children beginning in earliest infancy

Occurring throughout the life span, it is the adjustments we make to adapt to new situations

The process of learning and adopting the beliefs, values, and behaviors of groups that one anticipates joining in the future

The process of learning a new set of beliefs, behaviors, and values that depart from those held in the past

Never ending

Think critically about developmental stage models

Why do we have to continue socialization after we become “adults?”

Anyone do this?

• Social mobility: process of moving between different positions in social hierarchies within society

Family: intergenerational mobility

Education

• 1/3rd of life spent in school • Knowledge and skills • latent function

Proportion w/ BA degrees

Religion • Provides divine motivation for instilling social norms • Historically somewhat like an ascribed status • Now more like a shopping mall • In some places more so than others

Life course • Rites of passage: a marker, often a ceremony, that denotes an important stage of someone’s life, such as a birth, puberty, marriage, death • We could also call this?

• Markers of adulthood: defines who qualifies as an “adult” • When are you an adult?
