Anticipatory socialization refers to the processes of socialization in which a person "rehearses" for future positions, occupations, and social relationships. This may involve learning specific skills or knowledge related to a future role, as well as adopting the attitudes and values associated with that role. It often occurs before an individual actually enters the role, such as a student learning about a desired profession before entering the workforce.
