Socialization and IdentityBaumeister (1996) :• Family socialization provides children with an
identity• Children learn roles through imitative play• Learning social roles will enable children to
eventually become adults..
What kinds of roles/behaviour do children learn through play that they
may then play later in life
Socialization and Social ControlMorgan (1996)• Parents use sanctions to reinforce and reward
socially approved behaviour• Sanctions lead to the development of a
conscience in a child – which leads to independent action
• Toilet training – instils control over bodily functions so child is ‘civilised’ and avoid ‘uncivilised’ behaviours
• Gender Socialization – children internalise cultural expectations about femininity/masculinity
