Understanding Social Interaction: Key Concepts and Theories in Sociology

This overview delves into essential sociological theories regarding social interaction, including the Thomas theorem, which posits that situations defined as real are real in their consequences. We'll explore the concept of "presentation of self," understood as the efforts to create impressions in the minds of others, and discuss role conflict and strain as they pertain to individuals' statuses. We will also touch on dramaturgical analysis, the study of social interaction as theatrical performance, emphasizing the complex dynamics in human relationships.
