Question

Explain, in brief, how the family and peer group influence socialization.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Social groups often provide the first experiences of socialization. Families, and later peer groups, communicate expectations and reinforce norms. People first learn to use the tangible objects of material culture in these settings, as well as being introduced to the beliefs and values of society.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Peer groups contain hierarchies and distinct patterns of behavior. At an early age, the peer group becomes an important part of socialization (Tarrant 2002). Unlike other social groups, such as family, peer groups allow children to explore relationships with those other than adults.
