What is the term used to describe social relationships that involve interaction between two or more people?

  1. Social roles

  2. Social groups

  3. Social networks

  4. Social interactions

The correct answer is: Social interactions

Social interactions are defined as the ways in which people relate to one another and behave in social situations. This involves verbal and nonverbal communication, as well as social cues and body language. Social interactions are essential for building and maintaining social relationships between individuals. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully encompass the concept described in the question. Social roles refer to the expected behaviors, rights, and responsibilities associated with a particular position or status in society. Social groups are a collection of individuals who interact and share similar characteristics or goals. Social networks are a form of social structure or system where individuals are connected through various relationships, such as friendships, professional connections, or family ties. While these concepts are related to social interactions, they do not specifically refer to the interaction itself.
