Habitualization, that is, the process by which the flexibility of human actions is limited. All activity is subject to habitualization, as repeated actions inevitably become routinized. Habitualization carries with it the psychological advantage that choices are narrowed. That an action may be “performed again in the future in the same manner and with the same economical effort” provides a stable background from which human activity can proceed (Berger and Luckmann 1966:53–4). Habitualized actions set the stage for institutionalization, for “institutionalization occurs whenever there is a reciprocal typification of habitualized action by types of actors” (Berger and Luckmann 1966:54). That is, it is when habitualized actions are shared and/or “available to all members of the particular social group” (ibid.) that institutions are born.
