- Summary:
-
The applicability of socialization theory for understanding the processes of college impacts on students is discussed. The focus is affective dimensions of college impact, particularly influences of college on student's values, personal goals, and aspirations. Conceptual dimensions of the socialization process are considered, with attention to characteristics of individuals and institutions that are likely to enhance the influence of college on students. A conceptual framework for understanding the undergraduate socialization process is presented that incorporates socializing influences experienced by undergraduates from a variety of sources, both within and external to the postsecondary institution. Included in the framework are the socializing impacts of: student background, the normative influences exerted by the academic and social structure of the college through interpersonal and intrapersonal processes, and the mediating impacts of both parental socialization and noncollege reference groups during college. Special emphasis is placed on social structural aspects of socialization, rather than on individual processes dealing with socializing influences. A total of 155 references is included. (SW)
