Preferred term

social interaction theories  

Definition

  • Many theories have been used to investigate social interaction; four having historic connections and theoretical overlap will be briefly described in this entry, together with a few major concepts from each: interactional theory, social communication theory, dramaturgical theory, and interactional sociolinguistics. They are similar in their efforts to investigate human interaction broadly. [Source: Encyclopedia of Communication Theory; Social Interaction Theories]
