Document Summary
Chapter 5 socialization: socialization refers to the lifelong learning, through social experience, that contributes to the development of personality and allows full participation in society. Culture and society are macro-level approaches and now we look at micro-level approaches. Socialization: the lifelong experience by which people develop their human potential and learn culture. Personality: a person"s fairly consistent patterns of acting, thinking, and feeling. The biological sciences: the role of nature: darwin behaviour is instinctive. The social sciences: the role of nurture: john b. watson, behaviourism behaviour is learned, not instinctive. Studies of non-human primates: harry and margaret harlow, rhesus monkeys. Complete isolation with adequate nutrition = disturbed development. Artificial mother with adequate nutrition = still unable to interact with others in a group. Artificial soft mother = monkeys clung; benefit from closeness. Infant monkeys could recover from about 3 months of isolation; by about 6 months, isolation cause irreversible emotional and behavioural damage. Studies of isolated children: anna, isabelle, genie.
