Preferred term
symbolic interactionism
Definition
- Symbolic interactionism, a theory most commonly associated with George Herbert Mead, has influenced generations of scholars in a number of fields in the humanities and social sciences. This theory has been especially well received in the field of communication, however, because it places communication at the forefront of the study of human social existence.
