What is anticipatory socialization? Describe it in your own words and provide a real-world example

Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Anticipatory socialization simply occurs when the people who are not yet part of a particular group adopt the standards of the group as they want to join them and start behaving like the group members so that there'll be an ease of entry into the group when they're accepted.

Some of the practices that they do include training, rehearsing, play acting etc. Common examples of anticipatory socialization are the law school students who behaves like lawyers while in school and start learning the necessary values.
