Internaliseres

Internaliseres is the passive present tense form of the verb internalisere, borrowed from English internalize. It denotes that something is being internalized—taken into one’s own cognition, values, norms, or routines—and becomes part of a person’s internal framework. The term is used to describe processes where external standards, beliefs, or practices are absorbed and come to guide thoughts and behavior.

The concept is common across disciplines such as sociology, psychology, education, and organizational studies. Internalisation can refer to how individuals adopt societal norms, moral values, coping strategies, attitudes, or even cultural schemas. Through processes like socialization, identification with reference groups, reinforcement, and cognitive assimilation, external expectations are converted into internal motivations and self-regulation.

Examples of usage include statements such as that norms or values are internalized by individuals through family upbringing or schooling, or that organizational values become internalized by employees after training and experience. The term is often discussed alongside related concepts such as internalisering (the process of internalizing) and internalisert (internalized, as an adjective). Its opposite concept is eksternalisering, where traits or behaviors are directed outward rather than taken in.

In summary, internaliseres describes the ongoing process by which external influences are absorbed into a person’s inner life and behavior, shaping actions and judgments from within.
