Define what is meant by the term reciprocal socialization and by referring to the family as "a system."

What will be an ideal response?


Reciprocal socialization is the process by which children and adolescents socialize parents, just as parents socialize them. As a social system, the family can be thought of as a constellation, or grouping, of subsystems, defined in terms of generation, gender, and role. Divisions of labor among family members define specific subunits, and attachments define others. Each family member is a participant in several subsystems. Marital relations, parenting, and adolescent behavior can have both direct and indirect effects on each other.
