Nature vs Nurture- Both believe that social isolation is a sway from norms- Nature: that it come naturally- Nurture: behaviorism, learned, thought C. Social Isolation- No social interaction with othersA. Harlow’s - Experiment performed on monkeys - One cage only had a feeder and the other a feeder and a wired mother- Monkeys with only the feeder were angry and mean- The others with the wired mom were more docile and nicer- Once monkeys were put back with their parents the mean ones were mean to their mother but was straightened up real quickB.

Understanding Socialization Socialized biologically belief socialized as we goA. Sigmund Freud (1856–1939): The elements of personality1. Eros – life instinctsThanatos – death instinct.2. The personality includes three basic components:a. id (first occurs)- When we are born learn biologically as we grow - During this stage we are a ball of want.- Un-socialized selfb. ego (balance stage)- Child learns there’s something people want from him/her - to do things that are wanted, realizes ID stage isn’t going to work any morec. superego- you start to understand socialization- you internalize it more you grew and matured not as selfish as you once were- realize there are people you want to please - have to give in now because you know socialization is the main reasonB. Jean Piaget (1896–1980): Cognitive developmento as your mind grows you become more socializedo general ages1. Piaget identified four stages of cognitive development:a. The sensorimotor stage (birth – 2yrs)- We are socialized by our senses (smell, taste, feel…)- how we begin to understand- object performance: knowing something still exists but knowing you cannot see it (Pica boo) b. The preoperational stage, (2yrs – 6yrs)- we begin using languages and symbols in this stage- use imagination when they play- have trouble identifying a favorite of one thing [like a toy]c. The concrete operational stage, (7yrs – 11yrs)- child begins to connect with surroundings- can attach multiple meanings at this stage- focuses more on how and why things happend. The formal operational stage, (12yrs – up)- we learn abstract thinking and critical reasoning - creative, active beings internalize society as we goC. Lawrence Kohlberg (1981): Moral reasoning/developmento no age limits it’s how we mature over timea. preconventional- Socialized here morally over the pleasure vs. pain idea- Reason we baby proof houses- Quit a few years to learn thisb. conventional- usually teenage years although doesn’t have to be- lose selfishness and begin wanting to please othersc. postconventional- people morally develop to consider ethics and more abstract approaches- begin to understand liberty, justice and freedom- their own norms and morals- will often go with their own morals then laws - we are socialized at this stageD. Carol Gilligan (1982, 1990): The gender /moral developmento differently morally socialized between (male and female)- Similar to Kohlberg1. Boys- morals are around but tend to toward what is right and wrong2. Girls.- Don’t really care about morals on law, more on morals of responsibility E. George Herbert Mead (1863–1931): Theory of the social self1. The self o A dimension of personality composed of self-awareness as well as self-imagea. development of self b. social experience- What we experience throughout life through interaction - Symbol exchange- understanding- View situation through someone else’s eyes2. Dual Nature of selfo Two sided when it comes to being socializeda. “I”- Subjective: spontaneous, active part of self- Objective: internalized social norms, knows what society expects, knows what society expects b. “Me”3. looking glass self - Particular idea based on how others see us or respond to us and creates self-image- Reflection of a teachers work through the look on her students face- Plays a great part on how we are socialized4. Development of self- Take roles of othersa. Imitation/Play1. Significant others- People who are in our lives everyday2. Generalized other- Anyone we see outside the house (bus, drivers random people etc.)F. Erik H. Erikson (1902–1994): Eight stages/challenges of developmenta. Stage 1 — Infancy- the challenge of trust ( vs. mistrust)- between birth and 18 months- est. a sense of trust- family play important partb.
