Personalization
Personalization ( individuation ) is the process of the development of the individual personality in sociology and psychology .
sociology
Personalization is described as more or less extensive self-formation and control of one's own instinctual structures as well as a meaningful, coordinating and responsible reaction of the individual on the factors of society and culture. The person has to compare and assess the multitude of behavioral expectations with one another, choose between them and combine them into personal value convictions. By actively dealing with the norms , values and attitudes of a society and its culture , the individual can develop further and take on the tasks of a responsible citizen. This process goes beyond socialization and enculturation or follows on from it. The concept states that the developed personality is not one-sidedly adapted to society and culture, but acts back on them and is able to oppose excessive adjustment pressures.
psychology
Karl Jaspers describes the special personal tone that every psychological activity usually receives as personalization. It thus represents one of the four formal characteristics of self-consciousness . Other authors refer to this characteristic as ego quality .
