Chapter 2: Ecology of Socialization
Chapter 1: The Intentional Family
Family Celebrations Help Build Unity and Bring Values
Video "If students get A's"/World Song
Families who celebrate together are more likely to meet challenges together and are happier.
Celebrations help with:
uniting
motivating
educate
The more rewards, the more they lose interest in what they do to get the reward.
Students who focus on A's don't care about how they get them.
Different cultures breed different results.
"Don't look for happiness Ritchie, it will always make you miserable."
Real vs. good: What are the qualifications? Are they the same concept?
Intentional families are the type that fights together.
Entropic family loses sense of connection and closeness over time, which affects the way the family functions.
Reason one: No one is pushing for marriages and parents to stay and be good.
Reason two: Families do not have rituals.
Rituals consist of significance, repeated, and coordinated.
Rituals provide predictability, connection, identity, and a way to enact values.
Technology can deter from one's ability to connect and be intentional with a family unit.
Socialization processes are affected by:
Biological Factors (genetics, evolution, horomones.
Experience-expectant- neural connections that develop under genetic influences, independent of experience, activity, or stimulation.
Sociocultural Factors
Experience-dependent: neural connections develop responses to experience
Interactive factors (individual life history)
Self-concept is the individual's perception of his or her identity as distinct from others.
Self-esteem- the value one places on one's identity
Erikson's eight stages
Trust vs. mistrust
autonomy vs shame/doubt
Initative vs. guilt
Industry vs. inferiority
Identity vs. diffusion
Intimacy vs. isolation
Generativity vs. self-absorbtion
Integrity vs. despair
Self-regulation: ability to control one's impulses, behavior, and/or emotions until an appropriate time, place, or object is available for expressing them
Developmental Tasks: task that lies between an individual need and societal demand
Consider this
Collectivist vs. Individualistic
Coping, Active vs. Passive
Attitude, Submissive vs. Egalitarian
Communication style, open/expressive vs. restrained/private
reinforcements
extinction: disappearance of learned behavior following the removal of reinforcement
punishments (positive reinforcements to stop behavior)
timing
reasoning
consistency
attachment to person doing punishing
different types
learning
modeling
instruction
standard
reasoning
transductive reasoning, "kyle has red hair and hits me; therefore all boys with red hair hit
inductive reasoning: I can't hit Kyle; therefore, I can't hit any other children
deductive: I can't hit other children; therefore, I can't hit Kyle
individuals influenced by group pressure
Attraction to the group
acceptance by the group
type of group
tradition
handing down customs, stories, and beliefs
apprenticeship: process by which a novice is guided by an expert to participate in and master tasks.
values, attitudes, motives, and attribution, self-esteem, self-regulation/behavior, morals, and gender roles.
