internalizálására

Internalizálására is a Hungarian term that relates to the process of internalization. In this context, internalizálás means the transformation of external norms, values, beliefs, and rules into an individual's own cognitive structure and behavior. The form internalizálására is a grammatical variant used to indicate direction, purpose, or target of internalization in a sentence.

In psychology and sociology, internalizálás describes how people adopt societal standards as their own. Through socialization, observation, reinforcement, and reflective processing, external expectations are converted into intrinsic motivations that guide action even when direct sanctions are absent. The concept covers moral, cultural, and cognitive dimensions of how norms and knowledge become part of a person’s identity and everyday conduct.

Moral internalizálás concerns the adoption of ethical principles as personally binding commitments. Cultural internalizálás involves absorbing the practices, symbols, and rituals of a community, while cognitive internalizálás refers to integrating information and beliefs into one’s mental models and worldviews. Mechanisms that support internalization include identification with significant others, agreement with authorities, internal dialogue, and the alignment of new attitudes with one’s self-concept and long-term goals.

Assessment of internalizálás typically relies on self-report measures, qualitative interviews, and observation of behavior across contexts. Critiques highlight that internalization is not uniform or fully autonomous; it can coexist with external pressures, power relations, and selective resistance, making its assessment context-dependent. Related concepts include externalization, the inverse process, and the broader study of socialization and value formation.
