Abstract
Socialization is the process whereby social organizations influence the actions and experience of individuals. Individuals influence social organizations through the process of institutionalization, meaning that they create or substantially alter the roles they and others are to take. This chapter consists first of a discussion of two major sources of social psychology's understanding of socialization, the social learning and ego analytic theories, and how they complement one another. Then the usefulness of the concept of socialization as it is used in the model of social psychology is explored by using it to explain two phenomena important to social psychology, the effects of roles on attitudes and the acquisition of language. Finally, I discuss conditions under which individuals may turn around their own socialization and reorganize their social institutions. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
