ABSTRACT
The responsible person is characterized by having an ability to assume multiple perspectives and make optimal balances across diverse value dimensions. The undersocialization view is closely linked to the Enlightenment notion, which is very sanguine about the individual ability to reason. It assumes that people set their own goals and the ways they pursue their goals. The idea of a properly socialized person suggests that the goals people pursue are not universal or stable over time but instead fluctuate and vary greatly, and they cannot be arranged into a neat, overarching monolithic scheme. Psychological studies of adolescents and adults show that the internal working models of attachment continue to exist throughout the entire life span and remain relatively stable over time. Individuals are classified as dismissing, secure-autonomous, or preoccupied based on their attachment patterns.
