| | Herbert Blumer: Social Psychology (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | It is extreme in the sense that it regards group life as the determining influence in the development of the child, and, consequently, thinks of original nature as being of minor or of no importance. |
 | | According to this view, the group setting in which the child is born and reared consists of separate individuals, such as father, mother, brothers, sisters, neighbors, playmates, relatives, and so on. |
 | | The child is born and reared in such primary groups; by participating in their life, it is inducted in the intimacy and personal relations that prevail. |
