Question

Mykenze Ostrom · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Socialization is a continuous process that occurs throughout the life course, and it is not limited to a certain age or developmental period. While early childhood experiences are significant in shaping one's personality, sociological research has shown that socialization continues throughout adulthood and is influenced by various factors such as culture, social context, and relationships. Therefore, Freud's idea that the human personality is fully-formed by the age of five has been criticized by sociologists.
