Socialization for Adulthood
SOCIALIZATION FOR ADULTHOOD
Psychologist Nancy K. Schlossberg: people making transitions develop new assumptions, perform new tasks and change their relationships.
Socialization: how we learn appropriate social behaviours to participate in society.
Re-socialization: discard or change old behaviours in times of transition. Anticipatory Socialization: practicing roles before taking them fully on.
Social Clock: social norms determine events should occur. The social clock has slowed down.
Biological Clock: physically maturing and growing older. This has sped up.
Chronological Clock: actual ages, we all get privileges and rights at the same age. This is steady.
Psychological Clock: Mental growth into maturity. Hard to track.
