Q & A

What is social interaction?

Social interaction is a dynamic relationship involving reciprocal connections between individuals, between groups, or between individuals and groups. It can take the form of individual-to-individual, individual-to-group, or group-to-group interactions.

What are the two main conditions required for social interaction to occur?

The two main conditions for social interaction are contact and communication. Contact refers to a physical or mediated meeting between individuals or groups, and communication involves the exchange of messages that can be understood by both parties.

What is the difference between primary and secondary contact in social interaction?

Primary contact occurs when individuals meet directly without intermediaries, such as in face-to-face conversations. Secondary contact happens through intermediaries, like communication via phones or messages.

What are the key components of communication in social interaction?

The key components of communication include the source of information (the communicator), the medium through which the message is conveyed, the audience or recipient (the communicant), and feedback, which ensures that the message is understood.
