Answer 1

Symbolic interaction

Step-by-step explanation:

Symbolic interactionism is a micro-level theory that focuses on the relationships among individuals within a society. Social scientists who apply symbolic-interactionist thinking look for patterns of interaction between individuals. Their studies often involve observation of one-on-one interactions.

Symbolic interactionism is a sociological framework that states that people develop subjective interpretations of events based on their social interactions. In other words, following the ideas of Max Weber, people's interpretations of events affect their experiences and the way in which they construct meaning.
