Mead believed that people follow two stages to
develop a sense of self. What are they - -Play Stage and Game Stage
-Play Stage (Mead) - -the child tries to use gestures to practice the
behaviors associated with different roles, such as that of mother, father,
firefighter, or teacher. children are able to imagine the attitudes of their
parent or learn to take on the perspective of another person. During this
stage, children usually assume the role of only one person at a time.
-Game Stage (Mead) - -children begin to take on the perspectives of many
people at one time and to see how the individual fits within that group.
Children can understand what each person's role in the family is, including
their own, and how the behavior of one family member affects the
interactions of other family members.
-generalized other (Mead) - -The final step in this process is being able to
anticipate how one's behaviors affect not
only those individuals in our immediate environment, but also those in
society at large. Understanding social norms and expectations so that one
can guess how other people will react to a specific gesture or interaction.
-Mead believed that the self is not a thing, but a process based on constant
movement between the - -"I" and the "me."
-the "I" is the - -spontaneous acts in which we engage; these are
unpredictable and unstable. whereas the I is our immediate reaction to
situations. The "I" is the response of the individual to the me, which is a
reflection of the social world in which we live and interact.
-Me/Social self - -is those learned roles that are determined by interactions
with others. In other words, the social self (or me) is all of our learned
experiences
-"looking-glass self" - -which is based on the premise that individuals think
about how they appear to others, make a judgment about what the other
person thinks about them, and then incorporate those ideas into their own
concept of self
-This book was one of the first to state that the family has a role in the
socialization process - -The Polish Peasant in Europe and America (1918-
1920).
, -Thomas theorem, which states that: - -"if people define situations as real,
they are real in their consequences"
-Front stage performance - -People take on roles or act in ways based on
the environment of which they are a part. When we are in public, we display
the behaviors that we think are most appropriate for that audience, that fit
the social norms, and that will show us in the best light possible.
-backstage behavior - -When we are in not in public, we display our
backstage behavior and act in ways that are more fitting for our individual
comfort zone. Because we are trying to give off an impression that we want
others to hold of us and we are always making an impression of some sort,
-Impression management - -Front stage performance
backstage behavior:
the attempt by people to get others to see them as they want to be seen.
-First person to use the term symbolic interactionism. - -Herbert Blumer
-First Overarching Theme - -Meaning is a central element of human
behavior
-First Overarching Theme: Assumptions - -1. People will react to something
according to the meaning the thing has for them
2. We learn about meaning through interaction with others
3. As people come into contact with different things and experiences, they
interpret what is being learned
-People will react to something according to the meaning the thing has for
them. - -In other words, people live in a symbolic environment and will
respond to something based on their definition of that symbol. A cigarette,
for example, is a symbol of relief and pleasure for one person and a "death
stick" to another.
-We learn about meaning through interactions with others. - -Meaning is
learned and processed through our social interactions. People make value
judgments about which symbols are positive and negative and react to them
based on these values.
-As people come into contact with different things and experiences, they
interpret what is being learned - -People are both actors and reactors. We
are not passive beings who simply respond to the world around us; instead,
we are active beings who choose the parts of the environment to which we
respond.
