SOCIAL
RELATIONSHIP IN MIDDLE AND LATE ADOLESCENCE
Social Relationship - social relationships refer to the connections that exist between people
who have recurring interactions that are perceived by the participants to have
personal meaning. This definition includes relationships between family
members, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and other associates but excludes
social contacts and interactions that are fleeting, incidental, or perceived to
have limited significance (e.g., time-limited interactions with service
providers or retail employees).
Varieties
or Type of Social influence
Herbert
kelman, a Harvard Psychologist, suggested that there are three varieties of
social influence, namely:
1. Compliance – is when a person seems to agree, and follows what is requested or
required of him or her to do or believe in, but does not necessarily have to
really believe or agree to it.
2. Identification
– is when a person is influenced by someone he
or she like or looks up to, like a movie star, a social celebrity, or a
superhero.
3. Internalization
– is when a person is able to own a certain
belief or act, and is willing to make it known publicity and privately.
Social Scientist and psychologist identified
other types of social influence as:
·
Conformity – is a type of social
influence that involves a change in behavior, belief, or thinking to be like
others.
·
Conversion – occurs when an
individual whole-heartedly changes his or her original thinking and beliefs,
actions, and attitudes to align with those of other members of a group.
·
Minority Influence –
Happens when a bigger number of people influenced by a much smaller number of
people and when the minority’s way of looking at and doing things are accepted.
·
Reactance – is when there is a
willing rejection of a social influence being exerted on an individual or
group.
·
Obedience – is another form of
social influence wherein a person follows what someone tells him or her to do,
although it may not necessarily reflect the person’s set of beliefs or values.
·
Persuasion – is used by one person
or group influence another to change their beliefs, actions, or attitudes by
appealing to reason or emotion.
