social behavior theories

Social behavior theories seek to understand how and why individuals interact within groups and society. Key theories include the Social Learning Theory, which suggests we learn behaviors by observing others; the Social Identity Theory, which explores how our group memberships shape our identity and behavior; and the Theory of Planned Behavior, which links attitudes, intentions, and actions. These theories help explain phenomena such as conformity, aggression, altruism, and group dynamics, highlighting the influence of social context on individual actions and decisions. Overall, they provide insights into human relationships and societal functions.
