 SOCIALIZATION
 Most, if not all, ideas and concepts that
one knows and does are learned from the
people that he/she is regularly with.

 Society plays a role in the formation of

one’s interest, the same way that you have
played a role in forming the interest of
another person.

 Hunt (1982) says that it primarily consists

of processes and techniques observed by
members of the society towards an
“acceptable, proper, and desirable way of
living” and occurs through social
interaction and transmission of culture in
a particular group.
 American anthropologist Victor Barnouw (1963)

 Defined personality as an organization of forces-

consistent attitudes, values, and modes of
perception- within an individual which results in
his/her consistent behavior.

Psychologists R. Dewey's and W.J. Humber's

(1951)
 Defined personality as the interrelation of an
individual's ideas, actions, and attitudes with the
many nonhuman aspects of his/her environment
and heritage.

socialization, then so is socialization
by personality. In actuality, many
people base their interactions on
another's personality-his/her
appearance, attitude, ideas, and
more.
1. Biological Inheritance(Nature)
 The genetic characteristics of one's parents have something to do with his/her
personality. Genes provide "raw materials" from which personality is formed, such as
biological structures, psychological processes, reflexes, urges, capacity, intelligence,
and traits.

 A mother's creativity or a father's intelligence may have been passed onto their child
through their genetic codes. Whatever characteristic a child inherits from his/her
parents may shape his/her personality and how he/she reacts to situations
happening around him/her.
 2. Environment(Nurture)
 Environment can also influence
personality formation and development.

a. Geographic Environment
 

b. Cultural Environment

c. Social Environment
 Geographic Environment

The location, climate, topography,

and natural resources in one's
society are all parts of his/her
environment. Differences in
personality are found among
individuals living in different
locations with different climate
and topography.
Panopio, et al, pointed out that
geography is responsible for the
varying experiences in response to
the stimuli posed by the physical
world.
 Cultural Environment
 Cultural environment refers to the learned ways of
living-the norms, values, and beliefs one gets
accustomed to in a society.

 Culture, already present even before a child is born,

is a constant company that determines what a
person will learn as a member of a society. Early in
life, a person incorporates the patterns, values, and
attitudes of the group (whether primary or
secondary) he/she belongs to into his/her
personality.

 Culture goes on to shape the personality from a

person's birth to his/her death. As stated by
anthropologist Ralph Linton, culture serves as a
guide of an individual in living his/her life. It allows
him/her to become a "ready member” of the society
where he/she belongs.
 Social Environment
 Interactions happening in a particular group are all
parts of a person's social environment. One's social
role is also a contributing factor in developing one's
personality.

 For example, the oldest child in a family may have

experiences different from his/her younger siblings-
thus the difference in personalities. The oldest child
may be more responsible than his/her siblings as a
response to the call of his/her nature to lead and
guide their small group.
 Culture and Personality
 Anthropologists, such as Franz Boaz (1930), Ruth Benedict (1934),
Margaret Mead (1934), and Edward Sapir (1949) argued that
among the determinants that affect one's personality, cultural
environment is the main factor that determines the human
behavior. They believed that one's personality development is a
result of him/her learning his/her culture. As Benedict has added,
individual personalities of the members of a society are tiny
replicas of their overall culture, with the culture as the summary
of the members' personalities.
 Socialization Process
 Hunt (1982) described a human being as a "weak,
dependent, helpless creature“ whose needs can only be filled
through socialization.
 With the family as the first environment of socialization, the
human starts to grow and satisfy his/her needs. The mother
acts as the first determiner of the child by providing him/her with
emotional satisfaction.

 As summary, Hunt said that socialization is based

on the communication of meaning and value. A
person understands the meanings of words, objects,
and events that correspond from perceptions. In
his/her effort to conform to the expectations of
his/her society, a person absorbs its culture into
his/her personality.
STATUSES AND
ROLES

Social Roles
 Social Roles are sets of
expectations for people who
occupy a certain social position or
belong to a particular social
category. 

 A person can have different roles

to play, depending upon the
group he/she is in. A person can
play the role of a youngest
member in a family while playing
the role of a student in the school
or treasurer in a local community
group

“Individual’s social role has come

to be determined not by who he is,
but by what he can accomplish.”
STATUSES AND
ROLES
Status
 Defined as a person's position in a
social system..
 It helps us define who and what we are
in relation to others within the same
social structure.
 It can either be ascribed or achieved.

Ascribed status is a predetermined Achieved status is obtained by

status, which means that an individual choice, such as club membership,
with this type of status has no choice to educational degree, and more. It is a
choose his/her position in the society position earned or chosen. One’s
since this is what is given to him/her at ascribed status may affect the
his/her birth. likelihood of achieving other statuses.
 Status
 Status exists in pairs, such as parent and child, husband
and wife, teacher and students, lawyer and client or
friend and another friend. Status pairs can be classified
into two types, namely, complementary status and
symmetrical status.
 In complementary
status, pairs are
expected to behave in  In symmetrical status,
different but two or more holders of the
compatible ways. same status are expected
to react to one another in
similar ways.
Role Strain
 This happens when multiple expectations are required from a single
role. Take a school athlete and scholar for example. He/she
maximizes his/her energy in both studying and training. He/she
cannot afford to lessen his/her efforts in both fields because it will
mean sacrificing one of them.
 Agents of
Socialization
 The family is a prime agent of socialization. It is from the
family that a person gets most of his/her significant traits,
ranging from hereditary to social ones. Through the family,
one first recognizes his/her roles and status in society.

 Although the family is critical in the development of a person, the influence of a peer group
(friends and/or classmates)can become more prominent in one's personality. Barkada or peers
help a person experience things beyond what his/ her family allows. In this sense, a person
becomes more comfortable in showing his/her true personality to his/her peers than to his family
even though if was the first one to teach him/her the most significant ideas in life.

 The school also plays a vital role in one's socialization. In this

institution, an average person spends most of his/her young
life. In school, he/she meets different types of people with
varying beliefs, cultural orientations, attitudes, and the like.
Commonly, a person finds most of his/her friends here.

 Likewise, membership in socio-civic groups, such

as in church and interest groups also has a
share in a person's life. The workplace has too.
 Agents of
Socialization
 If there is an agent of socialization that is too influential at
present, it is probably the mass media. As the name
suggests, it reaches a significant number of people across
ages, cultural backgrounds, and sociopolitical affinities.
Media includes television, newspapers, radio, and the
Internet.
