English Term (puo:englishTerm)

socialisation

Definition of term (puo:definition)

The lifelong process through which individuals learn and internalize the values, norms, behaviours, and social skills of their culture, enabling them to function as members of society. Modern sociologists emphasize that socialisation is a bidirectional process, not merely the imposition of culture onto a passive individual, but a co-creative interaction in which individuals (including children) actively shape and negotiate social meanings through engagement with agents of socialisation such as family, peers, schools,
and media.
