Interactionalism

Interactionalism, in general knowledge, refers to a theoretical perspective that emphasizes the significance of social interactions in shaping individual behavior and societal norms. It suggests that people create meanings and interpretations through their interactions with others, rather than merely responding to external structures or influences. This approach highlights the importance of context, communication, and the subjective experiences of individuals, recognizing that our understanding of the world is constructed through ongoing relationships and social exchanges. By focusing on these interactions, interactionalism provides insight into how social life is experienced and understood on a personal level.
