type of socialisation: it is the process by which an individual absorbs and learns the norms, traditions, rituals, attitudes and practices of the culture into which they are born and raised
primary socialisation
First stage of socialisation where the norms and values are taught to a child within the family - by parents
secondary socialisation
Being taught how to behave by people in the wider world - friends, media etc.
oblique transmission
transmission from non-family members, general cultural and social influences
why can enculturation be good
It is a continuous process that reinforces your identity as a member of your culture
how does enculturation effect parenting
effects the attitude of a parent towards gender roles as parents from collectivist cultures are more rigid and inflexible in their attitudes towards gendered behaviour, upholding traditional views of gender roles as compared to more the progressive, liberal attitudes of individualistic cultures
