  1. Socialization Ch. 4

  2. Journal 19 • How do other people’s opinions of you affect who you are? (8 sent.)

  3. Quick Review • What is socialization? • Why is socialization necessary? • What can occur if socialization does not occur?

  4. 4.2 Socialization and the Self • Symbolic Interactionism is best perspective to study socialization • Looking at individual interactions • How those interactions affect larger society

  5. Self-Concept • Self concept: your image of yourself as separate from other people • How you see & understand yourself • Looking-glass self • Judge yourself based on how you think others will REACT to you

  6. Looking-Glass Self explained • Use other people as “mirrors” to show what we imagine they think of us • Imagine how we appear to others • Imagine the reaction of other people to our imagined selves • Evaluate ourselves based on how we imagine others have judged us • May not always be accurate because it comes from our imaginations • Inaccuracies can still cause duress even if untrue

  7. Class activity • Write a paragraph (minimum 8 sentences) of what you think your ASSIGNED partner thinks of you • Write a second paragraph (8 sentences) stating how you see yourself based on what you think your ASSIGNED partner thinks of you • ****CANNOT USE THE WORD “NICE” OR SAY “IT DOES NOT AFFECT ME”

  8. Journal 20 • Who is important in your life? (8 sent.)

  9. Important mirrors • Significant others: people who’s judgments are most important to your self-concept • Generalized other: combination of the norms, values, and beliefs shapes behavior of individuals • Role taking: seeing ourselves through the eyes of someone else • Similar to verstehen

  10. Development of Role Taking • Imitation stage • Age 1-2.5 years old • Child imitates, without understanding, the physical and verbal behavior • Observation and repeat • Play stage • Age 3-4 • Acting/thinking out a role as a child would imagine it • Game stage • Age 5+ • Consider the role of several people at the same time • Specific rules to follow • General rules start emerging as the generalized other

  11. “I” versus “Me” • “ME” • Created through socialization • "What the individual is for himself is not something that he invented. It is what his significant others have come to ...treat him as being.” • “I” • Person’s ego; individual reaction to community • “I” can become apparent in times when the “ME” cannot step in fast enough; first to react in a situation • “ME” disciplines the “I” by keeping to the laws of the community

  12. Homework • Create an image of yourself based on how you think others see you (in the middle of A3/A4 sized paper) • Around the paper include the following: • Significant others (5 people minimum) • Adjectives of how other people see you (5 min.) • Adjectives of how you see yourself based on others’ reactions to you (5 min.) • Roles you have (7 min.) • “I” vs. “ME” table (3 comparisons)

  13. Question of the Day (J 21) • What club, activity, or event would you want to have at MKS? (8 sent).

  23. How Does Socialization Happen? Ch. 4.4

  24. De-socialization • Give up old norms/values, behavior • Get rid of old self concept/identity • Done through total institutions • Separate from others, CONTROLLED • Asylums, military, prisons, cults • Given numbers/different names

  25. What is the purpose of getting rid of previous identities?

  26. Re-socialization • People adopt new norms, behavior, attitude • Occurs after de-socialization/destruction of self concept • Behaviors reinforced with rewards

  27. Anticipatory Socialization • Preparing oneself to take on new norms/values, behaviors • Done VOLUNTARILY (you choose to do it) • Done from one stage of one’s life to the next • Examples: • What do you need before going to college? • What do you need before you get married? • What changes occur before you get your first job? • REFERENCE GROUP • Group of people you identify with (or want to identify) • How you evaluate yourself

  30. Just a re-cap • What is socialization? • What is a status? • Ascribed status? • Achieved status? • Master status? • 4 agents of socialization?

  31. Roles • Roles are the EXPECTED BEHAVIOR with a particular status • Behaviors based on two items: • RIGHTS: behaviors that individuals expect FROM others • OBLIGATIONS: behaviors that individuals are expected to perform FOR others • Example: Teachers have RIGHT to expect students will learn, students are OBLIGATED to put forth that effort

  32. Role performance: the behavior of performing a role • Social interaction: influencing each other as people interact with one another • Role conflict: performing a role in one status affects the role of another status • Ex: student & club team (studying v. practice time) • Role strain: difficulty fulfilling all the roles of a single status • Ex: a doctor cannot be thorough in their checkups with every patient but also wants to care for each person • **Must decide which roles are most important and PRIORITIZING

  33. Claim: bullying at MKS specifically • 2 supports and 1 counter • Intro: claim • Conclusion: why supporting evidence more important than counter evidence • Must have at least 2 supports and at least one counter • Can have more than 2 (thus more than 5 paragraphs)

  34. Stanford Prison Experiment • 1971, Stanford University, Prof. Zimbardo • 24 male students • 12 assigned role of prison guards, 12 assigned prisoners • What establishes the status of each group? • What are the roles of each group? • How do roles cause confrontation? • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_LKzEqlPto

  35. Wrap UP • Status is the POSITION in society • A role is the BEHAVIOR that is expected of that position • A STATUS has many roles • Each person has many statuses • IMPOSSIBLE to meet expectations of every role for every status
