Robert Merton would likely use the term "latent function" to describe the result of these hidden or unintended social functions that may have positive consequences for society.
Latent functions are unintended, while manifest functions are intended.
The manifest functions of the family are the intended and visible functions, such as providing emotional support and care to its members. The latent functions are the unintended or hidden functions, such as reproducing societal norms and values through socialization.
Manifest functions are the intended outcomes or purposes of education, such as teaching academic subjects and providing vocational skills. Latent functions, on the other hand, are the unintended consequences or hidden functions of education, such as socialization, status attainment, and reproduction of social inequality.
