SOCIAL CONTROL
Social control is the term given to the regulation of people’s behaviour for social
purposes. It may be to benefit society as a whole by modifying the individual’s behaviour
so they become a productive member of society or fit in better however it does have
social and moral issues. Psychological techniques and practices are used in many ways
to regulate our behaviour and to a certain degree.
Social control is when individual or group behaviour is regulated so they comply with
social norms and structures. Exercising social control can be a conscious decision by
those in power to elicit behaviours they want to see from others.
Social studies:
- Milgram 1963 baseline and variation study
- Burger 2009
