Process of Socialization

Following are the important factors of the process of socialization :

1. Parenting : For proper socialization, it is necessary that the child should be brought up properly in a good environment. Only by doing this, he learns to behave according to the ideals and values of the society.

2. Co-operation : As the child gets the cooperation of these persons along with him, in the same way, he also starts the cooperation of others. Due to this, his social tendencies get organized.

3. Empathy : The child is initially dependent on other members of the family for the fulfilment of all his needs. It is necessary to keep in mind here that it is not enough to fulfil all the needs of the child in the family, but it is also necessary to treat them sympathetically. Due to this, the child starts feeling a sense of belonging and also starts loving them more.

4. Self-realization : When the child receives sympathy from the family and other groups, then the feeling of self-realization develops.

5. Reward and Punishment : When the child behaves according to the ideals and norms of the society, then he is praised or he is rewarded appropriately. On the contrary, when he behaves against the ideals of the society, he is punished. This helps in the socialization of the child.

6. Imitation : Imitation is a fundamental element of socialization. The child starts following the way he sees the people in the family, neighbourhood and other groups behaving.

7. Social learning : Social learning also has a profound effect on the socialization of the child. This social learning begins with the family. In the family, the child receives education from parents, siblings and other members about living, standing, sitting, eating, speaking, etc.
