Document Summary
Ensures a child"s standards (behaviour & attitudes) conform as closely as possible to society, so the child is able to function well in it. Like rules of conduct and sanctions: key aspects, dynamic and mutual shaping of behaviours and thought, child plays an important role in shaping standards, goal: child functions well as social being. Bronfenbrenner"s ecological system: systems can vary in their impact to development, bidirectional and dynamic changes. 3 subsystems/components (left to right) form a niche for the child to follow. Interdependency among systems changes in one can lead to changes in others, and so on: socialization agents are products of socialization themselves, socialization is lifelong, end goal is internalization of standards. 2 primary dimensions: control when extremely controlling, prevents autonomy development. When control is restrained, autonomy development is supported. Related to child"s ability to think and own decisions.
