SOCIALIZATION
Society is a group of individuals engaged in continuous social interaction, or a large

social group sharing the same or special social territory, often governed by the same
political authority and same cultural expectations. Culture provides people with the
norms, values, expectations, and other information needed to live with other
members of the group. The values and norms of a society are imparted or
internalized by its members through socialization or cultural processes.
Socialization is the process of learning to behave in a way that is acceptable like the
values and customs of our society or social group. We can distinguish three main
aspects of; the contexts in which it occurs, the actual content and processes people
use to socialize others, and the results that arise from those contexts and processes.
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.
Socialization is learning how our society and specific communities, or groups work
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. Example Mano or
pagmamano as an "honoring-gesture" to the elders.
2. Secondary Socialization - occurs when a person learns appropriate behavior
to be displayed within a smaller group which is still part of a larger society. Example
joining a club or organization in college, getting employed in a new workplace.
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 of life.
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 taught to a
novice.
3. Results and Outcomes - refers to what happens to an individual after being

exposed to a particular content and process.
CONTEXT OF SOCIALIZATION
Biological Context - Sociobiologists suggest that some human capacities may be

"wired into" our biological makeup. Some hormones (i.e. vasopressin and oxytocin)
encourage humans 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.
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, the acts 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). For example, the centuries of Philippine Chinese
exposure to Filipino culture made them imbibe facets of Filipino character in the
same way Filipinos learned to love Chinese culture like food (e.g. preference for
noodle-based cuisine like pancit).
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).
Status – position that an individual can occupy in society (Newman, 2012). It is not a
ranked position, but simply a label that implies certain roles that must be performed.
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.
