Study Notes
Socialization Process
- Socialization occurs through interactions with key agents, including families, peer groups, schools, and clubs.
- Begins in families, known as primary socialization, where early experiences with language, beliefs, and values are formed.
- As individuals grow, secondary socialization occurs, often initiating at schools, where social skills and relationships with diverse groups are developed.
Influence of Peer Groups and Media
- Peer groups become significantly impactful during school age, shaping identity and social behavior.
- Media, including television and the internet, heavily influences self-perception and societal norms.
Agents of Socialization
- Other agents include clubs, teams, religious institutions, workplaces, political groups, and cultural backgrounds.
- Reflect on personal influences and contributions to one’s own socialization process, acknowledging that individuals actively partake in shaping their identity.
Cooley's Looking-Glass Self Theory
- Charles Horton Cooley introduced the concept of the "looking-glass self," suggesting self-identity is formed through others' perceptions.
- Involves a three-step process:
- Imagining one’s appearance to others.
- Imagining their judgment based on that appearance.
- Developing a self-concept from these judgments, impacting behavior and self-view.
Mead's Social Self Theory
- George Herbert Mead emphasized that the self emerges through social interactions and experiences.
- Self is developed over time and consists of two parts: the “I” (individual identity) and the “me” (social self).
- The development occurs in three stages:
- Preparatory Stage: Children mimic actions without true interaction.
- Play Stage: Children start to understand and engage in social roles, reflecting on others' perspectives.
- Game Stage: Children learn to consider multiple social perspectives, enhancing their self-concept within a social context.
Cultural Perspectives on Self
- Identity contains two components:
- Egocentric Self: Autonomous and independent, often disregarding social influences.
- Sociocentric Self: Dependent on social contexts and more aligned with group values and relationships.
- Western cultures often emphasize individualism, valuing independence, while Eastern cultures typically highlight collectivism, prioritizing community and family interdependence.
Diversity and Understanding of Self
- Cultural diversity, language, religion, and economic backgrounds contribute to personal identity and self-perception.
- Recognition of various cultural developments of self emphasizes the importance of compassion and respect for individual differences in self-concept formation.
