Explain how were Nye’s four modes of social control mutually reinforcing.

What will be an ideal response?


The sense of identification with and affection for parents should, to use Reiss’s (1951) terms, facilitate both an acceptance of and a submission to their direct controls. The same integration into the family unit should result in deeper internalization of parental expectations and regulations through an internal conscience that regulated behavior from within the individual. The fact that the family prepared the individual for the pursuit of alternative goals in life through a variety of means and that the larger society made this possible was a major force for the integration of the individual into the social order. Thus, integration and regulation combined to reinforce one another and to reduce the likelihood of nonconforming behavior such as crime and delinquency.
