Document Summary
Family is the most influential in early childhood. People aren"t passive recipients of instructions on socialization from the agents. We all have our own ideas that we bring in. Children are socialized by other and they eternalize these learnings. No self at birth and self develops as a result of social experience. Tend to others intentions by understanding the situation from their point of view. Generalised others introduce expectations that are social norms (which urinal to use) Both sig. and gen. influence you through out your whole life. Self image is largely based on how a person sees how other people see him. Three components: how you appear to others (physical) How the person is judging them by appearance ( people can feel proud, ashamed or self- confident) Around teenage years, girls have low self-esteem than boys. Boys develop justice perspective (what"s right and wrong) Barbie dolls exaggerated versions of body image.
