Frage 18 von 50

1

What are the key principles of Interactionism in accordance to Blumer (1969)

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • - Our actions are based on the meanings we give to situations/people etc. They are not automatic responses to stimuli.
    - These meanings arise from interactions and are to some extent negotiable & changeable.
    - The meanings we give to situations are mainly the result of taking the role of the other.

  • - Human beings are passively responding to the system's needs
    - We do not interpret the meanings around us in any such way, instead the meaning we gain is the meaning offered to us from those with the power.
    - Human Conduct is not individualistic. Assumptions can be made about the entirety of human being's conduct, as we all interpret situations in the same way.

Erklärung

Frage 19 von 50

Blumer argues that although the action we take is partly predictable, because we internalise the expectations of others (so for example, a little boy whose mother openly does not wish for him to eat the last cookie out of the cookie jar may, more often than not, not consume the cookie - due to the expectation by his mother that he won't) - however, there is always some room for choice in how we perform our roles. (he may choose to ignore his mother's wishes.)

  • WAHR
  • FALSCH

Erklärung

Frage 30 von 50

The meaning of an action is dependent on the context. Not the actual action itself. This means that 'meanings' are unclear and unstable.

Same act, different context.
