We are always joining new groups and interacting with new people, which is why it is a lifelong process. Influence your choices of behaviour, clothing, and tastes. Primary socialization (basic): social learning, which occurs from birth to adolescence. Born knowing nothing, and develop a self identity, self control, internalizing moral standards, understanding of social role and what is expected of people in those roles. Secondary socialization: social learning that occurs beyond childhood and adolescence. Gender socialization: the processes through which we learn to become feminine and masculine according to the expectations current in their society. Anticipatory socialization: the process by which individuals prepare themselves for roles to which they aspire by which they do not yet occupy. Re-socialization: the process that occurs when a new role or situation requires that a person replace established patterns of behaviour and thought with new patterns.
