Document Summary

Age-graded norm a social norm referring to the age/timing of a particular event/stage (when people say you"re too old for that they are expressing and age-graded norm expectation) Anticipatory socialization refers to training, skill acquisition, and knowledge gathered for a future anticipated social role such as spouse or parent. Developmental tasks tasks expected in a given stage; successful transition to next stage depends on completion of these tasks. Expectations social expectations are corollary to social norms; if we have social rules about behaviour, we can form expectations about how people will behave. Event any occurrence or experience that can be pinpointed to a relatively instantaneous time. Evolution any process determined by a consistent set of rules or principles that explain and predict the continuity of change. Formal norms social rules that are codified or written down in legislation or institutional documents such as contracts (laws)
