What is the term used to describe the ability of individuals to behave in socially acceptable ways?

Socialization
Maturation
Cognitive Development
Emotional Development

The correct answer is: Socialization

Socialization is the process of learning and internalizing socially acceptable behavior, beliefs, values, and norms. It is a crucial aspect of human development and occurs throughout our lives. Maturation refers to the biological and psychological changes that happen naturally as we grow and age. Cognitive development focuses on the mental processes and abilities that shape how we perceive, think, and solve problems. Emotional development relates to the growth and expression of emotions, including how we understand and manage our own emotions and those of others. While all of these are important for individual development, socialization specifically addresses the ability to interact with others in an acceptable manner.
