These patterns of part of the process of socialization,whereby people learn the attitude, values, and behavior appropriate for members of a particular culture.Socialization occurs through human interactions. 6.An ascribed status is "assigned" to a person by society without regard for the person's unique talents or characteristic.Generally, this assignment takes place at birth. ...Unlike ascribed statuses, an achieved status comes to us largely through our own efforts. ...You must do something to acquire an achieved status. 7.Through our lives, we are acquiring what sociologists call social roles. A social role is a set of expectation for people who occupy a given social position or status. ...With each distinctive social status-whether ascribed or achieved-come particular role expectation. However, actual performance varies from individual to individual. 8.[Max] Weber pointed out that the followers John Calvin(1509-1564),a leader of Protestant Reformation, emphasized a disciplined work ethic, this-worldly concerns, and a rational orientation to life that have become known as the Protestant ethic. One byproduct of the Protestant ethic was a drive to accumulate savings that could be used for future investment. 9.Robert Merton(1968) made a important distinction between manifest and latent functions.Manifest functions of institution are open, stated, conscious functions.They involve the intended, recognized consequences of an aspect of society. ...By contrast, latent functions are unconscious or unintended functions and may reflect hidden purposes of an institution. 10.As in many real-life prisons, the simulated prison ... had a social structure in which guards held virtually total control over prisoner.They terms social structure refers to the way in which a society is organized into predictable relationship. The social structure of Zimbardo's mock prison influenced the interactions between the guards and prisoners. Zimbardo(1992;576) notes that it was a real prison "in the minds of the jailers and their captives". -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.35.50.75
