SOCIALIZATION THROUGH VALUES: GOAL VALUES AND PERFORMANCE VALUES
SOCIALIZATION THROUGH VALUES: GOAL VALUES AND PERFORMANCE VALUES

Summary/Abstract: The concept of socialization has a double meaning in the sociological and socio-psychological literature. According to its hard meaning, socialization is the transformation of an individual from an asocial being into a social being by instilling certain ways of thinking, feeling and behaving, while its soft meaning defines it as a process of inculcating certain ways of thinking, feeling and behaving different from those interiorized by an individual up to now. Starting from these two meanings, the article is an attempt to analyse the mechanisms and forms of socialization in post-communist Romania, touching upon re-socialization and socialization through values.
