socialization
'Sozialisation' and 'Persönlichkeitsentwicklung' both describe how a person changes and learns over the course of life. 'Sozialisation' emphasizes the influence of society: you learn rules, values, and behavior in a group. 'Persönlichkeitsentwicklung' puts more emphasis on the individual person: their traits, attitudes, and personal growth. The words can be confused because social experiences also shape personality. When it is about learning social rules, 'Sozialisation' is more precise. When it is about character, self-confidence, or personal change, 'Persönlichkeitsentwicklung' fits better.
