Socialization is the process through which communities transact or educate their members about the norms and values of society to be socially acceptable. It is a process by which an individual becomes a member of society through a mechanism of interaction. Its purpose is to prepare individuals for future roles.

There are two main types of socialization: 

  1. Primary socialization: Takes place early in life. Eg- family. 
  2. Secondary socialization: Takes place throughout one's life. Eg- peer groups.

Key Points

  • Adolescence is a transitional stage of physical and psychological development that generally occurs during the period from legal adulthood.
  •  Adolescence is also a time for rapid cognitive, development.

Hence, the most intense and crucial socialization takes place in this stage.
