socialization
(UCSP11/12BMSIg-

Motivation:
“Can you recall a time when
someone taught you how to
behave or act in a specific
situation?”
Students share brief examples
with a partner, then volunteer
some for class sharing.
Socialization
Refers to the coaching of novices to end up contributors
of a current crew and to think, feel, and act in
approaches the team considers appropriate. Socialization
is a central process in social life. Its importance has been
noted by sociologists for a long time, but their image of it
has shifted over the last hundred years.
It is learning on how our society and specific
communities, or groups works so we can be a part of
them. It’s a process of working together in developing
responsibility in our community. Individual learns to
conform to the norms and values in a group and
develops his/her own self by learning and knowing about
his/her own self from the others.
Socialization focuses on the
following:
1. Acquisition of Knowledge
2. Language
3. Values
4. Habits
5. Skill in the Society
TYPES OF SOCIALIZATION
1. Primary Socialization - occurs early in a child’s lifestyle and is
primarily due to have an impact directly from the family and close
friends. Through fundamental socialization, a baby learns basic
societal norms and customs.
2. 2. Secondary Socialization -occurs when a person learns on
appropriate behavior to be displayed within a smaller group which
still part of a larger society.
3. Anticipatory Socialization-Adolescence is initiated between the
ages of childhood and adulthood. During this stage, children start
to participate in Anticipatory Socialization. They also learn about
their group culture and what they should expect in the future.

4. Professional or Developmental Socialization- This
process of socialization occurs during the early years
of an individual's life. It develops his skills and
attitudes for the future and prepares him for the
various roles and responsibilities that he will assume
as an adult.
5. Re-Socialization- When an individual moves to a
new group, he has to learn the new values and
beliefs of the new group. This process of re-
socialization helps him to get used to the new ways
THREE PARTS OF SOCIALIZATION
1. Context- denotes culture, language, social
structures, and the individual’s rank within them. It
includes the history and roles played by the people and
institutions in the past.
2. Content and Process- the work or activity in
socialization. Content refers to the details of what
passed from a member to a new member. While process
means the interactions and ways these new norms,
values and customs are thought to a novice.
3. Results and Outcomes-refers to what happens to
an individual after being exposed to a particular
contents and process.
CONTEXT OF SOCIALZIATION
Biological Context- Sociobiologist suggest that
some human capacities may be "wired into" our
biological makeup. Some hormones (i.e.
vasopressin and oxytocin) encourage human to
interact and socialize with other people.
Psychological Context- composed of (1)
emotional states and unconsciousness (2) cognitive
theories of development (3) social and historical
events (4) social position as part of the context
Enculturation:
Socialization is also known as enculturation.
Enculturation occurs when cultural knowledge is
passed on to the next bearer which will perpetuate
and ensure the continuance of their traditions and
practices (Santarita and Madrid, 2016). For an
individual to become a member of a society he/she
must go through these two processes: socialization /
enculturation. For instance, act of courtesy and
hospitality of Filipinos are acquired through
socialization because these two learned with their
nearest group like family and friends. On the other
hand, enculturation takes place when one culture or
tradition is adopted.
Overall enculturation and
socialization process results to:
Identity formation – An individual’s identity is formed
through his interaction with other people. A person’s socialization
with individuals or groups allows him or her to imbibe certain
characteristics and interests that contribute to his/her identity.
(Idea derived from Newman, 2012). Norms and values – On the
other hand, norms are culturally determined rules
Norms and Values - On the other hand, norms are
culturally determined rules that guide people regarding what is
right, wrong, proper, or improper. Norms create predictability in
daily affairs and interactions, making it easier to live with other
members of society (Newman, 2012). These norms are
fundamental to the establishment of social order in any society
(Newman, 2012).
Cont.:
Status – position that an
individual can occupy in
society (Newman, 2012). It is
not ranked position, but simply
a label that implies certain
roles that must be performed
Two (2) types of Status:
Achieved status is one that a person has earned or
chosen based on his/her abilities and hard work. This is
usually signified by a certain profession, such as a
professional athlete.
Ascribed status is not earned, and it is not
something that people have control over. For instance, it
can be ascribed to a person's race or sex. Also, it is not
usually a choice in most matters.
Group Activity
Divide the class into 4–5 small groups.
Assign each group one major agent of
socialization:
Family
School
Peers
Mass Media
Religion or Community
Instruction:
Each group will discuss and answer the
following:
What values or behaviors does this agent
usually teach?
Give 3 specific examples of how this agent
influences a person.
What might happen if this agent is missing
or weak in a person’s life?
Groups will create a “Socialization Web” on paper :
In the center: write the word "ME" or "INDIVIDUAL"
Around it, write the name of your assigned agent and
draw arrows showing how it connects to shaping the
individual.
Beside each arrow, write short descriptions or
keywords (e.g., discipline, teamwork, respect).
Each group will present their Socialization Web to the
class for 2–3 minutes.
Example of Socialization Web
Always remember this:...
At Home – Applying manners and responsibility taught by
your family (e.g., saying “thank you,” doing chores without
being told).
In School – Showing respect for rules and authority
figures, cooperating in group work, and attending class
regularly.
With Friends – Practicing empathy, choosing the right
circle, resisting peer pressure, and resolving conflicts
respectfully.
Online – Thinking critically about what media you
consume or share, avoiding harmful trends, and promoting
positive content.
In the Community – Volunteering, attending
Short Quiz: True or False. Write T if
True and write F if False
1. Socialization stops once a person becomes
an adult.
2. Family is a primary agent of socialization.
3. Enculturation means learning your own
culture.
4. Peers and media are examples of
socializing agents.
5. Oneeffect of socialization is developing
your personal identity.
Assignment:
Title: "My Socializing Agents"
Instruction:
On one short bond paper, list 3 people or groups
who have influenced how you behave or think.
Write 1 sentence for each explaining what they
taught you.
Example: “My grandmother taught me to be
respectful to elders.”
LESSON 2:
Gender stereotypes
Gender stereotypes also bear strong influence on
socialization processes. Cultural expectations for
gender roles and gendered behavior are conveyed to
children through color-coded clothes and sorts of game.
Girls usually receive toys such as dolls or dollhouses that
stresses physical appearance and domesticity while boys
receive playthings such as legos, toy soldiers, or race
cars that involve thinking skills or manly type of sports.
Additionally, research has shown that girls with brothers
are associated to understand that household labor is
expected of them but not of their male siblings. Girls
tend to be engaged in doing chores without receiving a
pay while their brothers do.
Race
Race also plays a factor in socialization. Since white people
bear a disproportionate experience of police violence, they can
encourage their children to defend and know their rights when
the authorities try to violate them. In contrast, parents of color
must instruct their children to remain calm, compliant and secure
in the presence of law enforcement.
Cont..
While context sets the stage for socialization, the content and
process comprise the work of this undertaking. How parents assign
chores or tell their children to interact with police are examples of content
and process, which are also defined by the span of socialization, the
methods used, the people involved, and the type of experience.
School plays an important role in socialization of students of all ages. In
class, young people receive instructions related to their conduct, tasks,
authority, schedules and deadlines. Teaching this content requires social
interaction between educators and students. Typically, the policies and
expectations are both written
and spoken shall be reiterated thoroughly. In this manner, the student
conduct is either rewarded or punished. As this occurs, students learn
standards of proper behavior suitable for school.
Results
Results are the outcome of socialization and refer to the
way a person conceives and conducts after undergoing this
process. For example, with small children, socialization exhibits
focus on control of biological and emotional impulses, such as
drinking eating with bare hands rather than eating with spoon
and fork or asking permission before picking something up.
As children mature, the results of socialization include knowing
how to obey rules, wait for their turn or organize their schedule to
be productive. We can see the results of socialization in
everything, from men hitting the gym to achieve appealing biceps
to women wearing make ups to look more attractive.
