Social setting

A social setting refers to the environment or situation where people interact with each other, such as a gathering, work event, dinner, or community gathering. It influences how individuals behave, communicate, and connect because different settings have different norms, expectations, and levels of formality. For example, a casual get-together feels different from a professional meeting. Understanding social settings helps people navigate interactions appropriately, build relationships, and respond effectively to the social cues and environment around them.
