Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Socialization is said to be a process that every person experiences during his life and based on it, he gets acquainted with a set of values, customs and norms and accepts various roles in the society. This category creates obvious manifestations in the personality of a sociable person and on the other hand, if this process is not done correctly, it creates a person who avoids society. In Iranian culture, there are various ways to socialize people, which include holding festivals and joyous gatherings. A part of this ancient culture is reflected in the books Hezar o Yek Shab and Samak Ayyar. In this research the function of shindy has been investigated with regard to the concept of socialization in the mentioned works.

METHODOLOGY: This research was written with reference to library sources and descriptive-analytical method.

FINDINGS: The results of the research show that in the course of holding festivals, things like: transferring culture, flourishing abilities, institutionalizing values and norms, teaching skills and roles, creating interpersonal solidarity and stability of the social system have been observed as the goals of socialization.

CONCLUSION: Although at the superficial level, festivals were held to promote happiness, but in depth, they were held with the aim of strengthening interpersonal relationships.
