Who developed the concept of ‘generalised others’ in symbolic interactionism ?
Answer: B
The concept was developed by G. H. Mead.
In Mind, Self and Society, George Herbert Mead described how the self develops through play and then games. In organised games the child learns to take the attitude of the whole group, the 'generalized other', which represents the shared expectations of the community.
Herbert Blumer, Mead's student, coined the term 'symbolic interactionism'. Schutz was a phenomenologist and Goffman a dramaturgical analyst; neither originated the concept.
