socializations
Learning social norms
Socializations are instances or processes of learning to function within a group or society.
Children undergo socialization as they absorb cultural norms, values, and behaviors: Early socializations shape how we interact with others throughout life.
The term also covers specific encounters that develop social skills: The puppy needs more socializations with other dogs.
In organizational contexts, it refers to how newcomers learn workplace culture.
