| dc.description.abstract | The proposed dissertation has two parts: 1) a theoretical perspective on the process of socialization; and 2) an examination of a formal model of factors that influence life choices and sex-role related attitudes of young women. The theoretical perspective, which will hopefully be more fully developed in the dissertation, essentially sees socialization not as a short period of life in which the will of society is “imprinted” upon individuals, but as a life-long process of interaction between the individual and her/his social world in which the individual develops his/her view of reality (i.e. perception of self and the world around her/him). The process is not static, but it is one of continual growth and development as individuals strive to affirm their existence, to maintain their self-esteem. This process may be characterized as one of symbolic interactions, as the individual’s view of reality develops from the meanings s/he attaches to communications with other people. This process is seen as being constant throughout life. The content of this process, however, varies over time and from one social situation to another. Three categories of factors are seen as influencing the content of the socialization process: the individual him/herself, the others with whom the individual interacts; and the social structure in which the individual lives and interacts. | en_US |
