Document Summary
Human behavior experiments: conclusions, ethical? (consent, harm, anonymity, confidential?) Family (parents are giving you a sense of normative behaviour from a young age) (we never really forget everything our parents have taught us) Schools (direction, teachers will give a twist on rules, emphasize different norms and values) Peer groups (specify in an informal way how you should behave in certain circumstances) Mass media (found everywhere, has the ability to set the parameters for debates, raising an issue as an issue, how you think?) After this slide show presentation, students will be able to: briefly outline biological and psychological theories of socialization. Identify key concepts and themes that emerge in sociological accounts of the socialized self. Pioneered the sub discipline of sociology; the systematic study of how biology affects social behaviour. War, peace, envy, competition and cooperation are believed to be rooted in our genes. Daly and wilson (1988) cite a study on the gendered nature of sexual jealousy.
