Answer :

The statement you provided aligns with B. Mead's Theory of socialization (symbolic interaction). Mead's theory emphasizes the importance of social interaction and the development of the self through the process of taking on the perspectives of others, known as role-taking or perspective-taking. This theory suggests that the subjective self develops as individuals engage in role-play and imagine themselves in the positions of significant others, allowing them to understand themselves from different perspectives.
