How society shapes who we become—and how character is formed in everyday life.

This edition presents W. I. Thomas’s view that social forces guide behavior and personality. It explores how attitudes, temperaments, and customs interact, and how people navigate conflicting demands through discrimination, sublimation, and strategic adaptation. Readable and grounded in sociological observation, it illuminates how culture, norms, and social context steer choices and development.

What you’ll discover

How suppression and social sanctions influence what we express and how we grow.
Ways people use sublimation to turn powerful impulses into constructive, socially valued actions.
How conventionalized roles and sacredness of situations shape behavior across life settings.
Examples of how attitudes shift with changing contexts, and what this means for personal growth.

Ideal for readers of practical sociology and readers curious about how everyday life forms personality.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of human behavior, exploring how individuals navigate the complexities of society and culture. The author, a renowned social scientist, challenges conventional notions of social science, arguing against simplistic comparisons with the physical sciences. Instead, the focus is on understanding the subjective experiences and interpretations that shape our actions. Central to this exploration is the concept of the "definition of the situation," highlighting how individuals perceive and respond to their surroundings based on their unique perspectives and experiences. The book delves into the dynamics of social change, examining how conflicting definitions of situations can lead to social disorganization and personal demoralization. The author emphasizes the role of "crises" in shaping both cultural norms and individual personalities, illustrating how these pivotal moments can lead to profound shifts in behavior and outlook. Through a meticulous examination of personal documents and life histories, the book sheds light on the intricate interplay between individual experiences and cultural influences. The author's insightful analysis reveals that understanding human behavior requires a deep appreciation for the subjective meanings we attach to our social world, ultimately demonstrating that our perceptions of reality profoundly shape the course of our lives and the evolution of society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
