Define and explain in detail how the personality, social, and cultural systems interpenetrate each other.

What will be an ideal response?


The personality, social, and cultural systems interpenetrate each other through socialization, internalization, and institutionalization. Socialization refers to the process by which individuals come to regard specific norms as binding. It necessarily involves a community, as it is a process of social learning. Internalization refers to the process by which the individual personality system incorporates some specific interpretation of cultural symbols into its need-dispositions. Finally, cultural values and norms are institutionalized at the level of the social system. Institutionalization refers to the longstanding processes of communal association that bind actors to particular meanings. Institutionalization privileges particular symbolic constructions and, at the same time, curtails resistance to social norms.
