Social signaling

Social signaling refers to the actions or behaviors people use to communicate their identity, status, or intentions to others. This can include choices in clothing, language, and even social media activity. By projecting certain signals, individuals attempt to convey messages about their values or group affiliations, which can influence how they are perceived by others. For example, wearing professional attire can signal competence, while certain hobbies may indicate belonging to specific social circles. Understanding these signals helps navigate social interactions and relationships.
