Abstract
The vast majority of socialization studies and most of socialization theory have been guided by social learning tenets of observational learning and instrumental conditioning. The emphasis in this chapter is not on these direct methods of socialization but on indirect processes that influence the form and course of emotional development. These indirect processes are embedded in interpersonal relations, verbal and nonverbal communication, and organismic constraints imposed by the developmental level (or complexity) of the individuals involved. The kinds of indirect processes examined here emphasize how expectancies are acquired for determining how one is to feel and how one is to express one’s feelings “appropriately.”
