Action and Interaction Theory

Action and Interaction Theory explores how individuals' behaviors are driven by their internal motivations (actions) and how these behaviors influence and are influenced by others (interactions). It emphasizes that personal actions are not isolated; instead, they occur within a network of social exchanges, shaping relationships and societal dynamics. The theory highlights the ongoing, reciprocal nature of human behavior—actions prompt reactions, which in turn lead to new actions—illustrating how people mutually influence each other over time. This understanding helps explain how personal choices relate to broader social patterns and interactions.
