The Sociorelational Context CHAPTER 6 The Sociorelational Context

All human beings, regardless of culture, belong to groups All human beings, regardless of culture, belong to groups. When people from different cultures or microcultures interact, their perception and communication is filtered through their group memberships.

Involuntary vs. Voluntary Membership Groups Voluntary membership groups: eg. Political affiliation, occupation, religion, etc. Involuntary membership groups: age, race, sex, biological family, etc.

In-groups vs Out-groups In-group—a group characterized by internal cohesiveness, whose norms, aspirations, and values shape the behavior of its members. Out-group—a group whose attributes are perceived as dissimilar by the in-group.

Reference Groups A reference group possesses some quality to which we aspire and hence, serve as “reference” for our decisions or behaviors. Examples of positive reference groups are one’s race and joining a political party. Examples of negative reference groups may be other’s race and the oppositional political party.

What are “Roles”? A role is one’s relative position in a group. A role exist in relationship to other roles in a group. A role comes with an expected set of verbal and nonverbal behaviors. Formal roles—well-defined behavioral expectations. Explicit. Violations can lead to removal from role. Informal roles—expectations vary greatly. Implicit. Learn from experience.

Roles and Communication Social identity: How the society around you see you and hierarchically rank you. Role differentiation: How much a culture or microculture distinguish among roles. Role stratification: The rank ordering of roles within a culture.

Family Groups Typically, the first and most significant socialization influence on a child. Extended family vs. Nuclear family Family roles: rank, authority, responsibilities, privileges, etc.

Sex and Gender Roles Sex is biological: usually male & female Gender is cultural: Masculine: What is culturally associated with males. Feminine: What is culturally associated with females. Expectations and behaviors associated with masculinity and femininity can vary remarkably across cultures. Gender role stereotypes. Deviations from cultural gender role expectation are often negatively sanctioned.

Gender Roles across Cultures Morocco Japan India Saudi Arabia Egypt China Mexico Etc.

END

Morocco Moudawana—personal status code Minimum age for marriage is 18 Marriage must have mutual consent Dowries are the responsibility of husband

Japan Japanese Constitution stipulates all are equal Younger Japanese have more egalitarian attitudes toward sex roles Older Japanese have more traditional attitudes toward sex roles Japanese women continue to sacrifice personal goals for harmony of family, in accordance with collectivism

India Preamble of the Indian Constitution guarantees equality Male children seen as a blessing Continue family name Economic asset Female children seen as a burden Dowry Less education

Saudi Arabia Patriarchal Women cannot: vote or drive. Must have male permission to: travel, work, study, marry. Only 5% of the workforce. Reforms initiated in 2004

Egypt The 1971 constitution denies discrimination based upon sex. 70% of the population is women and children Greater proportion of women are illiterate than men Under law, women are not treated equally

China Women’s liberation began to advance with establishment of the People’s Republic 1950 Marriage Law abolished feudal forms of marriage Women discouraged from living alone. Women tend to want more equal division of domestic work.

Mexico Average age at marriage: Women=20 years. Men=23 years. The young age reduces higher education pursuits. Males and females used to have very specific and separate roles, but this is changing.
