2. WHAT IS SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT?
 Social Development means acquisition of the ability
to behave in accordance with social expectations.
 Becoming socialized involves three processes which,
although they are separate and distinct, are so closely
interrelated that failure in any 0ne of them will lower
the individual’s level of socialization.

3. PROCESSES IN SOCIALIZATION
 LEARNING TO BEHAVE IN SOCIALLY APPROVED
BY WAYS.
 PLAYING APPROVED SOCIAL ROLES.
 DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL ATTITUDES

4. LEARNING TO BEHAVE IN
SOCIALLY APPROVED BY WAYS
 Every social group has its standards of what is
approved behavior for its members.
 To become socialized, children must not only know
what this approved behavior is, but they must also
model their own behavior along the approved lines.

5. PLAYING APPROVED SOCIAL
ROLES
 Every social group has its own patterns of customary
behavior that are carefully defined and are expected by
members of the group
 There are approved roles, for example, for parents and
children and for teachers and pupils.

6. DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL
ATTITUDES
 To become socialized, children must like people and
social activities.
 If they do, they will make good social adjustments and
be accepted as members of the social group with which
they are identified.

7. SOCIAL AND NONSOCIAL PEOPLE
 Social – people are those whose behavior reflects
success in the three processes of socialization. As a
result, they fit into the group with which they are
identified and are accepted as group members.
 Gregarious – people are social people who crave the
presence of others and are lonely when by themselves.
They are satisfied merely to be with others, regardless
of the nature of contact.

8. SOCIAL AND NONSOCIAL PEOPLE
 Nonsocial – people are those whose behavior does
not reflect success in the three processes that
characterize a social person.
 Unsocial – people are nonsocial people who are
ignorant of what the social group expects and, as a
result, behave in a manner that falls short of social
expectations. Because of this, they are not accepted by
the group and are forced to spent to much of their time
in solitude.

9. SOCIAL AND NONSOCIAL PEOPLE
 Antisocial – people are nonsocial people who know
what are the group expects but, because of
antagonistic attitudes toward people, they violate the
group mores. As a result, they are neglected or rejected
by the group.

10. FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO
VARIATIONS IN SOCIAL GROUP
INFLUENCES
 ACCEPTABILITY TO THE GROUP
 SECURITY OF STATUS
 TYPE OF GROUP
 DIFFERENT MEMBERS OF THE GROUP
 PERSONALITY
 AFFILLIATION MOTIVE

11. IMPORTANCE OF EARLY SOCIAL
EXPERIENCES
 Early social experiences largely determine what sort of
adults children will become.
 Predominantly happy experiences encourage the child
to see more such experiences and to become a social
person.
 Early social experiences may be with family members
or with people outside the home.

12. IMPORTANCE OF EARLY SOCIAL
EXPERIENCES
 FAMILY INFLUENCES
 OUTSIDE INFLUENCES

13. EFFECTS OF EARLY SOCIAL
EXPERIENCES
 PERSISTENCE OF SOCIAL BEHAVIOR
 CONSISTENCY OF SOCIAL ATTITUDES
 EFFECT ON SOCIAL PARTICIPATION
 EFFECT ON SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE
 EFFECT ON CHARACTERISTIC PATTERNS OF
BEHAVIOR
 EFFECT OF PERSONALITY

14. BEGINNING OF SOCIAL BEHAVIOR
- During the first month or two of life, they merely
respond to stimuli in their environment, regardless of
whether these stimuli come from people or objects.
- They do not, for example, distinguish clearly between
people’s voices and other noises.
- Socialization in the form of gregarious behavior
begins around third month, when babies can
distinguish between people and objects in their
environment and when they respond differently to
them.

15. SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN EARLY
CHILDHOOD
- From 2 to 6 years, children learn how to make social
contacts and how to get along with people outside the
home, especially children of their own age.
- They learn to adapt themselves to others and how to
cooperate in play activities.
- Early childhood is often called the “pregang age.”

16. SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN EARLY
CHILDHOOD
- RELATIONS WITH ADULTS – young children spend
less time with adults and derive less enjoyment from
being with theme. At the same time, their interest in
playmates of their own age increases and the
enjoyment from being with them gets stronger.
- RELATIONS WITH OTHER CHILDREN – before the
age of 2 years, young children engage in solitary or
parallel play. Their contacts consist primarily of
imitating or watching one another or to attempting to
take one another’s toys.

17. BEHAVIOR PATTERN IN SOCIAL
SITUATION DURING EARLY
CHILDHOOD
- Cooperation
- Rivalry
- Generosity
- Desire for social approval
- Sympathy
- Empathy
- Dependency
- Friendliness
- Unselfishness
- Imitation
- Attachment behavior

18. BEHAVIOR PATTERN IN SOCIAL
SITUATION DURING EARLY
CHILDHOOD
- Negativism
- Aggression
- Quarreling
- Teasing and bullying
- Ascendant behavior
- Egocentrism
- Prejudice
- Sex antagonism

19. SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN LATE
CHILDHOOD
 Upon beginning schools, children enter the “gang age”
–an age when social consciousness develops rapidly.
 Children become members of peer group which will
gradually replace the family in its influences over their
attitudes and behavior.

20. CHARACTERISTIC OF CHILDREN’S
GANGS
- Gangs identify themselves by name, many of which are
taken from the street or neighborhood where the
members live or from popular books, comics, or
movies.
- Gang members use secret signals, password,
communication codes, or a private language to
maintain their secrecy.
- Childhood gangs often use insignia—caps, armbands,
or other decorations—to identify their members.

21. CHARACTERISTIC OF CHILDREN’S
GANGS
- Gangs sometimes have initiation ceremonies to test a new
member’s skill or physical endurance, to create loyalty within the
group, and to make each member feel important because of
being accepted
- The preferred meeting place of the gang minimizes adult
interference and maximizes opportunities for favored gang
activities. Girls usually meet close to the home, while boys meet
as far from home as possible.
- Gang activities include all kinds of group play and
entertainment, making things, annoying other people,
exploring, and engaging in forbidden activities, such as
gambling, smoking, drinking, and experimenting with drugs.

22. SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AT
PUBERTY
- With the beginning of puberty comes a change in
social attitudes, a decline in interest in group
activities, and tendency to prefer solitude.
- As puberty progresses and the rate of puberty changes
speeds up, social attitudes and behavior become
increasingly antisocial.

23. CHARACTERISTIC ATTITUDES AND
BEHAVIOR AT PUBERTY
- Pubescent children sometimes have an antagonistic attitude toward
everyone. They go around with chips on their shoulder and sneers on
their faces.
- Pubescent are even more aggressive than preschoolers, instigating fight
with peers and criticizing, arguing, and finding fault with almost
everything adults do.
- Pubescent quarrel over the most trivial matters and pick fights with
members of their gangs, criticizing whatever they do and delighting in
hurting their feelings. As a result, many longstanding friendships are
broken.
- According to pubescent children, social activities “bore” them,
especially family gatherings and holiday celebration

24. CHARACTERISTIC ATTITUDES AND
BEHAVIOR AT PUBERTY
- Pubescent spend much of their time in isolation, engaging
in daydreams in which they play the role of martyrs or
thinking about sex, exploring the genital organs, and
masturbating.
- Pubescent children intentionally refuse to communicate
with others except when necessary. When questioned, they
shut out other people by answering, “I can’t remember” or
“I don’t know.”
- Pubescent are often shy in the presence of all people, not
only strangers. Their shyness stems from anxiety over how
others judge their changing bodies and their behavior.

25. HAZZARDS IN SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
- Social Deprivation
- Too Much Social Participation
- Overdependency
- Overconformity
- Nonconformity
- Prejudice
- Pubescent Antisocial Behavior
