Abstract

The article describes socialization agents as important factors that impact an individual's social growth and interactions in order to properly understand the dynamics of sociovirtualization. These agents serve as sources of guidance, norms, and socialization chances, all of which contribute considerably to the construction of an individual's social identity. These socialization agents are critical in aiding socialization in virtual settings and negotiating the intricacies of virtual interactions in the field of sociovirtualization.
