sociology of interaction

Sociology of interaction studies how people communicate and relate with each other in everyday life. It examines the patterns, behaviors, and norms that shape social exchanges, such as conversations, gestures, and body language. This field explores how individuals influence and interpret each other’s actions within social settings, revealing the underlying rules and dynamics that create social cohesion or conflict. By understanding these interactions, sociologists gain insights into broader societal structures, relationships, and cultural values, highlighting how individual behavior both shapes and is shaped by social contexts.
