Family socialization is the most important agent of socialization; however, peer group is an important agent of socialization as well. Explain how family and peer-group socialization differ.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

Family socialization usually begins in early childhood and teaches basic language, values, norms, and behavior. Peer-group socialization comes from friends and others of similar age or status. Peers can influence interests, clothing, speech, and social behavior, and they often provide opportunities to practice independence. Family members generally have more authority and a longer-term role, while peer influence is often strongest in social situations with age-mates.
