Symbolic interaction is a social theory that focuses on how individuals create and interpret symbols, such as language, gestures, and objects, in their everyday interactions with others. This theory posits that meaning and reality are created through these interactions, and that individuals continually adjust and interpret their actions based on the meanings they ascribe to symbols. Symbolic interactionism emphasizes the subjective and context-dependent nature of social interactions, highlighting the role of symbols in shaping human behavior and social relationships.
