Symbolic interactionism is derived from American pragmatism , especially the work of George Herbert Mead and Charles Cooley . Herbert Blumer , a student and interpreter of Mead, coined the term and put forward an influential summary of the perspective people act toward things based on the meaning those things have for them and these meanings are derived from social interaction and modified through interpretation. Blumer was also influenced by John Dewey , who insisted that human beings are best understood in relation to their environment. ref http www.colorado.edu communication meta discourses Papers App Papers Nelson.htm ref Sociologists working in this tradition have researched a wide range of topics using a variety of research methods. However, the majority of interactionist research uses qualitative research methods, like participant observation , to study aspects of 1 social interaction and or 2 individuals selves.

The definition of the situation is a fundamental concept in symbolic interactionism advanced by the American sociologist W. I. Thomas . It is a kind of collective agreement between people on the characteristics of a situation, and from there, how to appropriately react and fit into it. Establishing a definition of the situation requires that the participants agree on both the frame of the interaction its social context and expectations , and on their identities the person they will treat each other as being for a given situation .

Situationism in psychology refers to an approach to personality that holds that people are more influenced by external, situational factors than by internal trait s or motivation s. It therefore challenges the position of trait theorists, such as Hans Eysenck or Raymond B. Cattell . The term is popularly associated with Walter Mischel , although he himself does not appear to like the term. Empirical evidence upon which situationists base their claims take the form of cross situational measures of traits such as extraversion , in which only low correlations of the same trait taken in different situations have been found. However, in response to such evidence, Hans Eysenck has pointed out that the correlations, while low, are typically still high enough to reach statistical significance . A midrange position, which holds that personality is best understood as resulting from subtle interplay of internal and external factors, is known as interactionism psychology interactionism . Some notable situationist studies include Philip Zimbardo Zimbardo s Stanford prison experiment , Bystander effect Bystander experiments, obedience human behavior Obedience experiments like Milgram experiment and Heat and Aggression experiments.

Context date October 2009 Extension transference is a term used to describe the symbolic sub division of a particular goal or purpose so that the sub divided concepts seem fragmented from the original purpose. when applied to language and experience, becomes a useful theoretical concept. Thus, spoken language is a symbolization of something that happened, is happening or will happen. Written language as an extension of the spoken form is therefore a symbolization of symbolization This intellectual manoeuvre Hall terms extension transference. The extension can become confused with or take the place of the process described. Lago, p68 . Extension transference is a phenomenon that occurs when we create systems to help us do things more efficiently and effectively an in ways that we can measure and control. Often these are processes that we once did quite naturally on our own. Hanson, p. 43 . The term was coined by the American anthropologist, Edward T. Hall in his book Beyond Culture 1976 .

unreferenced date August 2009 The generalized other is a concept used in the social sciences , especially in a field called symbolic interactionism . It is the general notion that a person has of the common expectations that others have about actions and thoughts within a particular society. Any time that an actor tries to imagine what is expected of them, they are taking on the perspective of the generalized other. As a concept, it is roughly equivalent to the idea of the Freudian superego . George Herbert Mead maintained that the experience of role play and pretence in early childhood were vital for the formation of a mature sense of self, which may only be achieved by the child learning to take on the role of the other, i.e., seeing things from another person s perspective. By doing this, the child may eventually be able to visualize the intentions and expectations of others and see him herself from not just another s point of view but from groups of others. The generalized other represents the common standpoints of those groups. The attitude of the generalized other is the attitude of the larger community. According to Mead, the generalized other is the vehicle by which we are linked to society. Major works 1934 Mead, G. H. and C. W.

The I and the me are terms central to the social philosophy of George Herbert Mead , one of the key influences on the development of the branch of sociology called symbolic interactionism . The terms refer to the psychology of the individual. In Mead s understanding, the me is the socialized aspect of the person. It is what is learned in interaction with others and more generally with the environment. This includes both knowledge about that environment including society , but also about who he or she is his or her sense of self . This is because the person learns to see who he or she is man or woman, old or young, etc. by observing the responses of others to himself herself or his her actions. If others respond to the person as for instance a woman, the person develops a sense of herself indeed as a woman. The I is the active aspect of the person. This acts creatively, though within the context of the me . Mead notes that it is only after we act or speak that we know what we were going to do or say. People, he argues, are not automations. They do not blindly follow rules. They construct a response on the basis of what they have learned, the me . Taken together, the I and the me form the person or the self philosophy self in Mead s social philosophy. References George Herbert Mead, Mind, Self and Society , 1934 , Edited by Charles W.
