Question

Caitlin behaves and interacts with her siblings very differently compared to the way she behaves and interacts with her friends. She is less mindful of offending her brothers and sisters and is not as conscious of her appearance when she is with them. Which of the key functions of socialization does this situation illustrate

Answer 1

Answer:

Socialization teaches us role taking.

Explanation:

What this situation illustrates is that the process of socialization teaches us to take different roles in society. A role is a particular behaviour that a person engages in because of the social position that he occupies. This behaviour allows us to place this person in society. The process of socialization allows us to learn this role through our interactions with others, and internalize it so that we can relate successfully to the rest of society.
