Document Summary
Significant others: the people who play important roles in the early socialization experiences of children. Re-socialization: what occurs when powerful socializing agents deliberately cause rapid change in a person"s values, roles, and self-conception, sometimes against that person"s will. Epigenetic tags: chemical mechanism attached to genes that, as result of outside influence, activate or suppress specific genes. How do we explain you ? (product of our upbringing, interactions, exposures, etc socialization) Sense of self is developed through other people. Genetic links to behavior: etc. entrepreneurship is genetic (some people are just good business people) Twin studies is an example: twins separated at birth, each going to different families, look at them years after and compare them (things you expect to be total product of socialization will be the same) Epigenetic tags: e. g. when exposed to poverty, family, some people can survive/resist/ more effective at string calories (same people now have highest rate of obesity)
