Socialization and Development Theories
- Socialization is the process through which individuals learn and internalize the norms and values of their society.
- Erik Erikson's theory outlines eight stages of human development where societal interactions shape personality formation.
- Gender roles are often established during childhood through socialization, exemplified by purchasing gender-specific toys (e.g., a toy kitchen for girls).
- Kohlberg's theory suggests that moral reasoning develops significantly during teenage years, with the ability to empathize with others.
- George Herbert Mead identifies a sequence in child development: preparatory stage, play stage, game stage, and the realization of the generalized other.
Stages of Development
- Mead's stages:
- Preparatory stage: Children mimic significant others, lacking understanding of social roles.
- Play stage: Children engage in role-play, imagining themselves in various roles.
- Game stage: Children understand and anticipate the roles of others in group dynamics.
- Generalized other: Awareness of societal expectations, norms, and behaviors.
Influence of Sociology
- Émile Durkheim's suicide study distinguished sociology from psychology, emphasizing societal influences over individual psychological factors.
- The debate of nature versus nurture highlights the influence of genetics versus environment in shaping behavior, illustrated in the case of Jimmy's disruptive behavior.
Parental Influence on Socialization
- Parents typically socialize children to mirror their own norms and values to ensure continuity in cultural practices.
- Education plays a crucial role in society by providing knowledge, facilitating interactions, and teaching ways to respond to authority and social situations.
