This is the first book-length work to reflect the recent trend in
social psychology away from artificial laboratory test results. It
focuses directly on the detailed, concrete elements of social
behavior as they are observed in a real-life setting. Michael
Argyle's approach here differs from that more generally taken in
two respects. First, he discusses human interaction in terms of the
basic elements of behavior-bodily and facial movements, gestures,
eye-movements, facial expression, proximity, and orientation, the
verbal and non-verbal aspects of communication. Second, he has
drawn on research in such varied areas as psychiatry, anthropology,
linguistics, ethology, developmental and organizational psychology,
as well as on his own extensive experimental studies. Particular
emphasis is given to the biological roots of interaction, and to
its cultural setting. Social Interaction demonstrates a strong
awareness of the current theories of social psychology, while
restricting itself in exposition to the observable aspects of human
interaction. The result is a comprehensive and stimulating
introduction to social interaction. This is primarily a textbook
for students of social psychology, but it covers a field that is of
central importance for all students of the social and biological
sciences.
