Olubiński, Andrzej2016-12-032016-12-031990Ruch Prawniczy, Ekonomiczny i Socjologiczny, 52, 1990, z. 2, s. 267-2840035-9629http://hdl.handle.net/10593/16159The subject matter of the article is the attempt to induce the problems of social role into the sphere of considerations on the processes of socialization and education. The first part of the article contains the introduction into the theory of social role. The author points to the interactionistic origin of this theory, to a close link between the individual development of a human being and his/her position in various social structures, and to the significance of sources of social expectations and main components of the role as the behaviour-shaping factors. In the next part of his article (Social Role and Socialization Processes) the author discusses main psychosocial mechanisms of role acquisition. The main point is to analyse the conditions of positive and negative socialization, i.e. the conditions which make it easier or more difficult to perform the role. The author focuses his attention on negative psychosocial consequences of the lack of connections between the ascribed, the subjective and the reflected role. These consequences include various deviations in creating the conditions for socialization (e.g. psychological or sociological determinism, the separation of social conditions from regulative function of personality, etc.). Besides, the author stresses the significance of conflicts of roles. He points to the dissociation character of the absence of such conflicts on the one hand, and their appearance in the extreme form on the other. Finally, in the last part of his article (Social Role and Education) the author turns his attention to the possibilities of including the theory of role into the structure of intentional education. The author concludes, inter alia, that taking into account by the theory of education the scientific achievements of the theory of social role could create the opportunity for a better * and more humanistic approach to the process of education.polinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArtykuł
