Question

Answer 1

Answer:

generalized other

Explanation:

The term "generalized others" is used most commonly in social sciences when a person mind restricts one selves from doing or acting something in the society just for the fear of what the other person in the society will think.

This concept was given by George Herbert Mead.

So when Tanya desired to say or ask something in college when attending the lecture with 300 other students, she suddenly stops or refrains herself from doing so because she is afraid of how the other members of the audience will react. This is said to be "generalized other".

Thus the answer is "generalized other".
