Socialisation (ID:1052200)

The process of socialization at the end of the 19th century became the focus of the attention of researchers who created a number of theories explaining how a unique personality develops based on the interaction of various factors. Let's consider the main theories of socialization. The term «socialization» was first described by the famous American sociologist F. Giddins in 1887. He defined the process of socialization as «the development of the social nature and character of the individual», and «the preparation of human materials for social life» [Giddings F.H. (1897) The Theory of Socialization: A Syllabus of Sociological Principles for the Use of College and University Classes. N. Y.; L.: MacMillan & Co., Ltd. xiv, 47 p.].
