• the development of social skills and values in an individual across the lifespan.

• the individuals' ability to act and respond according to the circumstances and culture of the society.

• the way an individual adapts social norms, values, culture, etc, and internalizes the attitudes and customs of society.

Personal factor affecting the social development of a child: 

• Emotion
• Intelligence
• Health issues
• Fussy temperament
• Developmental delay
• Sensitivity & Adaptability

Hint

• The Peer group immensely affects the social development of children but it is not a personal factor affecting social development.
• Peers help children to be socialized by making them learn to behave in a way that is socially acceptable.
