Correct Answer - Option 2 : Havighurst

The correct answer is Havinghurst

  • Socialization is a process by which culture is transmitted to the younger generation and men learn the rules and practices of social groups to which they belong. The term socialization refers to the process of interaction through which the growing individual learns the habits, attitudes, values, and beliefs of the social group into which he has been born.
  • An agent of socialization assists in the development process by influencing the individual. A person learns socialization through agents, which include: the family, the school, the peer group, and the mass media.
  • Family plays the most important role in the formation of personality. Additionally, they provide us with our first system of values, norms, and beliefs, a system that is usually a reflection of their own social status, religion, ethnic group, and more.
  • The family has informal control over its members. It trains the younger generation in such a way that it can take the adult roles in a proper manner. As a family is a primary and intimate group, it uses informal methods of social control to check the undesirable behavior on the part of its members. The parents use both reward and punishment to imbibe what is socially required from a child.
  • According to Robert. K. Merton, “it is the family which is a major transmission belt for the diffusion of cultural standards to the oncoming generation”.
  • Other quotes of havinghurst: "Family life is the source of the greatest human happiness. This happiness is the simplest and least costly kind, and it cannot be purchased with money. But it can be increased if we do two things: if we recognize and uphold the essential values of family life and if we get and keep control of the process of social change so as to make it give us what is needed to make family life perform its essential functions."
