What term describes the process in which people learn expected forms of behavior?

Socialization
Education
Social control
Social networking

The correct answer is: Socialization

Socialization is the process through which individuals learn and adopt the expected forms of behavior within a society or group. It involves the acquisition of norms, values, beliefs, and attitudes that are shared by members of the group. Education may involve teaching expected behavior, but it focuses more on academic knowledge and skills. Social control refers to the methods used to regulate and enforce conformity to social norms, while social networking involves forming connections and relationships with others. So, while these options may be related, they do not accurately describe the process of learning expected forms of behavior like socialization does.
