		Symbolic interactionism is a very loosely defined theory of which there are several different variations.
		In this variety of symbolic interactionism, where the analogy of the conversation is most appropriate the social world shows the same qualities of flow, development, creativity and change as we would experience in a conversation around the dinner table or in a bar, or some other place of interaction.

	House Atreides - Social Interactionism as Defined by Herbert Blumer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		A respected critic and devotee of George Herbert Mead, Blumer expounded with fervour on the importance of meaning to the individual as an acting entity, the primacy of direct empirical observation as a methodology, and the centrality of the "definition of the situation" introduced by W. Thomas.
		symbolic interactionism is a down-to-earth approach to the scientific study of human group life and human conduct.
		Symbolic interactionism recognizes that the genuine mark of an empirical science is to respect the nature of its empirical world -- to fit its problems, its guiding procedures of inquiry, its techniques of study, its concepts, and its theories to that world.

	Herbert Blumer's Symbolic Interactionism
		Symbolic Interactionism as thought of by Herbert Blumer, is the process of interaction in the formation of meanings for individuals.
		Although Symbolic Interactionism is a good theory by the five humanistic standards, there is a critique of the whole basis for it.
		While Blumer insists that the interpretive process and the context in which it is done are a vital element in the person's use of meaning and formation thereof, others view the use of meaning as simply the calling upon and application to specific situations of previously held meanings (Society for More Creative Speech, 1996).

		A career-long student of social psychology in general and symbolic interactionism in particular, he has received the Cooley-Mead Award for Lifetime Contributions to Social Psychology from the American Sociological Association Section on Social Psychology and the George Herbert Mead Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction.

	Dualism: Mind-Body Interactionism
		But, although interactionism cannot be faulted on logical grounds, I would be the last to deny that it does create enormous problems for science and more especially for the unified scientific world view.
		In the remainder of the paper, therefore, I shall consider what would be the implications of accepting as valid at least the more reputable portion of the parapsychological evidence.
		It is true that many who are currently active in parapsychological research-and this applies especially to those who have come to it from the physical sciences-are convinced that the paranormal can eventually be conquered for physics, given only certain extensions and modifications to our existing physical theories.

	Sociological Theory \| Chapter 10 Chapter Summary
		Mead adopted from the pragmatists three important themes: (1) a focus on the interaction between actors and the social world, (2) a view of both actors and the social world as dynamic processes, and (3) the centrality of actors' ability to interpret the social world.
		Symbolic interactionism has been criticized for relying too much on qualitative methodology and for failing to incorporate quantitative methodology into its research program.
		Given its micro-level focus, some have argued that symbolic interactionism is not microscopic enough, because it tends to ignore psychological factors.

		Blumer coined the term symbolic interactionism in 1937, keeping this sociological perspective alive through the early 1950s at Chicago, and then in California where he was a professor at the University of Californa in Berkeley.
		While Holton and Cohen argue that Blumer took only certain ideas from Mead, it was the specific aspects developed by Blumer that formed the basis for later symbolic interaction approaches.

		Written in 1969 Blumer's book was and still is the cornerstone of symbolic interactionism and exemplifies the philosopy of the 'Chicago School' of social science.
		This is not to say that symbolic interactionism denies the existence of social structure what Blumer is saying is that social structures exist but they do not determine action.
		Symbolic interactionism should as Blumer states cover the 'full scientific quest' and should be prepared (to quote Robert Park) 'to get the seat of your pants dirty' in other words get out into the empirical world rather than being a 'detached observer'.

		Symbolic interactionism is a social psychological theory developed from the work of Charles Horton Cooley and George Herbert Mead in the early part of the twentieth century (the actual name of the theory comes from Herbert Blumer, one of Mead's students).
		Certain identities are available and others not available; some behaviors get you prestige and respect while others are deprecated or punished, and the behaviors that are approved or punished may change dramatically over time.
		I see differential association theory, neutralization theory, and labeling theory as subtheories that share many of the assumptions of symbolic interactionism.

		The authors argue that few sociologists in Britain have identified themselves with symbolic interactionism, even though many have engaged with interactionist ideas in their research and methodological work.
		We are all interactionists now, in the sense that many of the key ideas of interactionism have become part of the mainstream of sociological thought.
		A good deal of today's ideas that are presented as 'novel' or 'innovative' only appear so because earlier contributions - interactionism among them - are not explicitly acknowledged.

	Soci 333 – Introduction to Symbolic Interactionism
		Symbolic interactionism is far more open, understanding itself as a diffuse collection of interests in interaction.
		We all need some kind of veil, but if it is too thick, others will find us less than engrossing and interaction will falter; if it is too thin, inappropriate feelings may "flood out" as Goffman frequently worries (he is consistently worried about scenes of "flooding out"; recall here Alexander’s argument about presuppositions).
		The argument resolves itself in an assertion of the collectivism in interactionism: "but in this case the disguise is socially standardized; it is applied by the individual but not tailored by himself to his own particular needs" (243b).

	SYMBOLIC INTERACTIONISM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Unlike both the consensus (structural functionalist) and conflict perspectives, it does not stress the idea of a social system possessing structure and regularity, but focuses on the way that individuals, through their interpretations of social situations and behavioural negotiation with others, give meaning to social interaction.
		George H. Mead (1863-1931), a founder of symbolic interactionism, saw interaction as creating and recreating the patterns and structures that bring society to life, but more recently there has been a tendency to argue that society has no objective reality aside from individual interaction.
		This latter view has been criticized for ignoring the role of culture and social structure in giving shape, direction and meaning to social interaction.

		The three core principles, meaning, language, and thought, of George Herbert Mead’s theory of symbolic interactionism, will be used explain the creation of Conrad’s “self” and his socialization into the larger community within Ordinary People.
		Conrad has locked himself into a horrible self-fulfilling prophecy, a prophecy in which he is an unlovable, worthless member of his community.
		By releasing his “I” and combining it with his new “me” Conrad was able to produce a “self” that he was happy enough to continue on living with.
