Monique prefers to do her grocery shopping once a month because her mother also shops only once a month
One of the reasons Monique is such an efficient shopper is that, like her mother, Monique believes, "Waste not, want not." This passing down of norms and values to Monique is most likely an example of _____.
a. consumerism
b. the socialization process
c. the decision-making process
d. cognitive dissonance
ANSWER: b
A person's family is responsible for the socialization process, which is the passing down of cultural values and norms to children. Children learn by observing their parents' consumption patterns, so they tend to shop in similar patterns. Monique's mother has passed down norms and values to Monique, resulting in her reflecting her mother's shopping patterns.
