Answer:

Anticipatory socialization.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anticipatory socialization is a sociological term that refers to a process by which knowledge and skills are learned for future roles. During the process of anticipatory socialization, a set of new rules, roles, relationships, values and ideas are adopted by the people who aspire to join their new social group. Adopting these even before the change of status helps ease the transition to the new role or social environment.
