One of the fundamental problems of science dealing with the study of personality, is the study of the socialization process, study a range of issues related to the way and so one becomes an active social subject.

The history of the "socialization" of the term related misunderstanding, or rather, the inaccuracy of the translation from German into English. However, a new word stuck and accumulated a classical perspective. The notion of "socialization" beyond traditional notions of "education" and "education". Education involves the transfer of a certain amount of knowledge. Education is understood as a system of targeted, deliberately planned actions aimed at - the formation of a child's specific personality traits and behavior skills. Socialization includes education and training, and in addition, the totality of natural, nobody planned influences affecting the personality, the process of assimilation of individuals into social groups.

There are two basic approaches to determining the nature of socialization. Under the first approach, socialization - a peculiar kind of training, it is "one-way street" where the party is an active society, but the man himself - a passive object of his diverse influences. The second approach is based on the paradigm of interaction and emphasizes not only the activity exhibited by society, but the activity, the selectivity of the individual. This socialization is seen as a process that continues throughout a person's life. Accepted provide the primary socialization, covering the period of childhood and secondary socialization, takes longer time period and also includes mature and advanced age.

1. Socialization of personality

Socialization of the person is a process of identity formation in certain social conditions, the process of assimilation of human social experience in which a person converts social experience in their own values ​​and orientations, selectively enters into its system behavior the norms and patterns of behavior that are accepted in society or group. Standards of conduct, morality, human beliefs are determined by rules that are accepted in society.

There are the following stages of socialization [5]:

1. Primary socialization, or adaptation stage (from birth to adolescence, a child acquires social experience uncritically adapts, adjusts imitated).

2. individualization stage (there is a desire to distinguish themselves among others, a critical attitude to the social norms of behavior). In adolescence, the stage of individualization, self-determination "Peace and I" is described as an intermediate socialization as still unstable in the outlook and character of a teenager. Youth age (18 - 25 years) is characterized as stable-conceptual socialization, when produced by stable personality traits.

3. Stage of Integration (there is a desire to find their place in society, "fit" into society). The integration goes well, if the properties of a person taking a group, society. If not accepted, the following outcomes:

preserve their otherness and the emergence of aggressive interactions (relationships) with people and society;

change themselves, desire to "be like everyone else" - conformity, external conciliation, adaptation.

4. Work the socialization stage covers the entire period of human maturity, the entire period of his employment, when people not only metabolizes social experience, but also reproduces it by active influence on the environment through their activity.

5. After the labor stage of socialization considering old age as the age, making a significant contribution to the reproduction of social experience in the process of transferring it to new generations.

Socialization - the process of identity formation.

Personality - through the socialization process, which includes the development:

• Culture of human relationships and social experience;

• social norms;

• social roles;

• activities;

• forms of communication.

·        socialization mechanisms:

- Identification;

- Imitation - reproduction of the experience of others, their movements, manners, behavior, speech;

- Sex-role typing - purchase behavior, characteristic of the people of your gender;

- Social facilitation  - strengthening of human energy, facilitating its activity in the presence of others;

- Social inhibition - braking behavior and activity under the influence of other people;

- Social impact - the behavior of one person becomes similar to the behavior of the other person. The forms of social influence: suggestibility - involuntary compliance of human influence, conformity - a deliberate human view of compliance group (developed under the influence of social pressure).

2. The social role

Every person living in society, including in a variety of different social groups (family, group training, digging, and so friendly).

In each of these groups, it takes a certain position has a certain status to it must meet certain expectations. Thus, one and the same person should behave in the same situation as the father, the other - as a friend, in the third - as the Head, that is, act in different roles...

Social role - appropriate way to the accepted norms of behavior, depending on their status or position in society, in the system of interpersonal relations.

The development of social roles - part of the process of socialization, an indispensable condition for "growing" a person in the society of their own kind. Socialization is the process and the result of learning and playing an active individual social experience carried out in dialogue and action.

Examples of social roles are also gender roles (male or female behavior), professional roles.

Assimilating social roles, a person learns the social standards of behavior, learning to evaluate themselves from the outside and exercise self-control. However, as in real life, a person is included in many of the activities and relationships, forced to perform different roles, requirements which can be contradictory, there is a need for some mechanism that would allow a person to maintain the integrity of the "I" in terms of multiple connections with the world (ie, .e. to be himself, playing different roles). The identity (or rather shaped substructure orientation) is precisely the mechanism, functional body that allows you to integrate your "I" and their own livelihoods, to carry out a moral assessment of their actions, find a place not only in a particular social group, but also in life in overall, generate meaning of their existence, to give up one for the other.

Thus, the developed person can use role behavior as a tool facilitating adaptation to certain social situations, while not blending, without identifying himself with the role.

Role of personality concept originated in American social psychology in the 30s. Twentieth century. (Charles Cooley, George. Meade) and has spread to various sociological trends, particularly in the structural and functional analysis. T. Parsons and his followers consider a person as a function of the set of social roles that are inherent to any individual in a given society.

Charles Cooley believed that personality is formed based on a plurality of human interactions with the environment. During these interactions people create their "mirror self." "I Mirror" consists of three elements:

1) how, in our opinion, we are perceived by others ( "I am convinced that people pay attention to my new hairstyle);

2) how, in our opinion, they react to what they see ( "I'm sure they like my new haircut");

B) how we respond to our perceived reaction of others ( "Apparently, I always comb").

This theory attaches great importance to our interpretation of the thoughts and feelings of other people. American psychologist George Herbert Mead went further in his analysis of the development process of our "I". As Cooley, he believed that the "I" - a social product, which is formed on the basis of relationships with other people. At first, being little children, we can not explain to myself the motives of others. By learning to interpret their behavior, children do thus the first step in life. Having learned to think of themselves, they can think about the other; the child begins to acquire a sense of the "I".

According to Mead, the process of identity formation involves different stages. The first - an imitation. At this stage, children copy the behavior of adults, not understanding it. Then follows the stage of the game, when children understand the behavior as the fulfillment of certain roles: doctor, firefighter, racing driver, etc .; in the game they play these roles.

Each role imposes certain imprint on the person, on the identity of man as a person mobilizes the resources of his body and mind to fulfill that and other roles. Sometimes there is intrapersonal conflict, when a person is forced to play the role, presentation of which do not correspond to his idea of ​​himself, his individual "I".

Conclusion

Socialization - a long and difficult process of identity formation, the gradual assimilation of society demands it: a certain system of knowledge, norms, values, attitudes, behavior patterns necessary for the successful functioning of the individual in a given society. The mechanism of socialization consists of the decision-making, goal formation, mobilization of domestic resources, the construction of various strategies behavior. The institutions of socialization, affecting the personality, as if faced with the impact of the system, which is given by a large social group, in particular through the traditions, customs, habits, lifestyle . From what will be the resultant of which have developed systems of these impacts depends on the concrete result of socialization. Process reaches a certain stage of completion when the social maturity of the person, finding it an integral social status.
