SOCIAL INTERACTION
• Refers to the process by which people act and
react in relation to others. In this manner,
language, gestures and symbols. Interaction is
a daily activity of people. This happens because
almost all human behavior is oriented toward
other people since they are constantly aware
that their actions and reactions have effects
upon others.

1. Defining the Situation
to a large extent, a behavior is determined not

the situation, a stage of deliberation and
examination during which we define and
interpret the social context in which we find
ourselves, assess our interest, and select
specific attitudes or behaviors accordingly (
Thomas, as cited by Hess et al. 1992 ).
2. The Presentation of the Self
Sociologist Erving Goffman emphasized

seldom admit. All of us have an image of
how we want to be seen by other people.
