G. H. Mead
Infants and young children, according to Mead, develop as social creatures by copying the actions of those around them.
He believed that infants developed self-awareness through a process of play he called “playing the role of the other,” in which they learned to separate the “me” from the “I.”
At 8 or 9 years old, Mead reasoned, children enter a new stage of development, in which they learn to play organized games with rules that represent social ideals.
The relevance of other people in molding a child’s sense of self was demonstrated by Charles Horton Cooley.
Jean Piaget, a Swiss child psychologist, focused on cognition.
Sensorimotor stage: A period of human cognitive development in which a child’s knowledge of his or her world is dominated by perception and touch,
The primary achievement of this stage is for children to recognize that their surroundings have distinct and stable qualities.
Preoperational stage: According to Piaget’s theory, this is a period of cognitive development in which the infant has matured sufficiently to acquire basic patterns of logical thought.
At this age, children are egocentric.
Egocentricity is a defining attribute of a kid during his or her early years of life, according to Piaget. Understanding objects and events in the world entirely in terms of one’s own location is known as egocentric thinking.
Agents of socialization are groups or social settings in which socialization processes take place.
The family is the key socializing agency in primary socialization.
Other socializing agents, including schools, peer groups, organizations, the media, the workplace, religious organizations, and even the government, become socializing factors in secondary socialization.
