Socialization is most strongly influenced by?:

  1. Peers

  2. Family

  3. Government

  4. Education

The correct answer is: Family

Peers, government, and education may also play a role in socialization, but family has the strongest influence. This is because children spend most of their formative years with their families, who teach them norms, values, and behaviors that shape their social interactions. Peers, government, and education can all further reinforce these socializations, but they are not as influential as family.
