I. Status Socialization
- It is designed to prepare the learner to occupy a prescribed position in the society. Status socialization may also be ascribed i.e. predetermined position (e.g. being a firstborn nobility e.g. prince gender) or achieved through competition or individual effort i.e. position acquired due to merit.

II. Role Socialization
- The socialisee is prepared to play a role expected of him/her by the society.
- Socialization may either be congruent – where all agents of socialization propagate the same message
or set of values, or incongruent – where different agents of socialization propagate different, often
conflicting messages or values e.g. telling children to be honest while another parent with economic
hardships tells the children not to pay fare if the conductor does not ask and use it for lunch instead.
