Definition of Socialization:
Wallace and Wallace: “Socialization is the process of transmitting socially appropriate beliefs and behaviour patterns to an individual and making possible the development of a ‘self’, or a personality.”
Horton and Hunt: “Socialization is the process whereby one internalises the norms of the groups among whom one lives so that a distinct ‘self’ emerges unique to the individual.”
Hobbs and Blank: “Socialization" transforms the biological organism into a social being.”
