Quarter 1 – Module 5:
Socialization
Most Essential Learning Competency: Explain the context, content, processes, and
consequences of socialization (UCSP11/12BMS-Ig-16)
Concepts:
Social group is a collection of individuals who have relations with one another that make them
interdependent to some significant degree.
In the social sciences, a social group can be defined as two or more people who interact with one
another, share similar characteristics, and collectively have a sense of unity.
Each group has different social life.
Interdependence – a necessary condition that exists within social groups

because it is what enables its members to pursue shared goals, value, and principles.
It differentiates social group from an aggregate, or a mere collection of people within
a particular place and time.
Members of society belong to the following social groups:
1. Primary group –a small, intimate, and less specialized group whereby members engaged in
emotion-based interaction and interdependence over an extended period of time.
Ex. couple, childhood friend
A family belongs to a primary group because it is first and most basic social group.
It is small, intimate, whose members engage in face to face and emotion-based interactions over an
extended period of time.
2. Secondary group – a larger, less intimate and more specialized group whereby members
engaged in objective-oriented relationships for a limited period of time.
Ex. churchmates, classmates, colleagues
3. Reference group – a group which has a strong influence on an individual’s, beliefs, values,
behavior, and attitude.
1. In-group- a group to which a person belongs, and with which he or she feels sense of
identity.
Ex. fraternity
2. Out-group is a group to which one does not belong and to which he or she may feel hostility.
Ex. sports team opponent
4. Network group –refers to the structure of relationship which has interconnections, ties, and
linkages between people, their groups, and the larger social institutions to which they all belong.
It is formed by the presence of social linkage by an individual for some personal, economic, religious,
or political reason.
Ex. FB page, Networking Business group
What is Socialization
Socialization is the process by which we acquire knowledge, language, values, skills and habits of a
society. The process begins during a person’s childhood. When a person is born into the world, he or
she needs to learn how to live in the society around him or her. In other words, an individual should
generally conform to the norms and roles required for integration into a group or community. It is why
socialization is an important process. Basically, it teaches an individual how to be a member of a
group or society.
Socialization is, in fact, the main process of social life.

For example, girls learn how to be daughters, sisters, friends, wives, and mothers. In addition, they
learn about the occupational roles that their society has in store for them. We also learn and usually
adopt our culture's norms through the socialization process.
While socialization refers to the general process of acquiring culture, anthropologists use the term
enculturation for the process of being socialized to a particular culture. You were enculturated to
your specific culture by your parents and the other people who raised you.
What is Enculturation
Enculturation is a very similar process to socialization. Enculturation is the process of being

socialized into a certain culture. In other words, this is the process by which we learn the requirements
of our surrounding culture and acquire the behaviors and values appropriate for this culture.

customs, values, and roles of the society, from of our surrounding culture and acquire the
birth through death behaviors and values appropriate for this culture
mainly focuses on the acquisition of knowledge, focuses more on the acquisition of cultural traits
language, values, skills, and habits of society
THE CONTEXT OF SOCIALIZATION

Socialization occurs within biological, psychological, and social contexts. Each of these offers
possibilities and limitations that may influence socialization.
The context is like the theater or stage in which socialization occurs. Social context includes culture,
language, and social structures such as the class, ethnic, and gender hierarchies of a society. The
content and process of socialization is like the play, the lines, and the actors.
Context also includes social and historical events, power and control in social life, and the people and
institutions with whom individuals come in contact in the course of their socialization. The content and
process of socialization is like the play, the lines, and the actors.
What are the four consequences of socialization?
Socialization teaches impulse control and helps individuals develop a conscience. This first goal is
accomplished naturally: as people grow up within a particular society, they pick up on the
expectations of those around them and internalize these expectations to moderate their impulses and
develop a conscience.
 It establishes self-concept.
 It creates the ability to view things from another perspective.
 It creates the tendency for people to act in acceptable ways.
 It makes people reflections of their culture.

Module 5-Activity 3: Answer the question concisely.

Why socialization is important in becoming a member of the society?
Socialization plays an important role for an individual and the society he/she lives in. It demonstrates
how deeply human beings and their social environment are intertwined. A society upholds itself by
imparting culture to new members. The process of socialization guarantees that society’s norms and
customs are passed down to the future generation. Socialization is a sort of social control in which
pepople are taught what is expected of them in a specific group or environement. A society will cease
to survive if new generations don’t learn its way of life. In order for a society to thrive, whatever is
distinctive about a culture must be passed down to those who join it. We need to socialize just as
much as we need to be individuals. We learn who we are and how we fit into the world around us
through social interaction because it allows us to gain the ability to see ourselves through the eyes of
others.
