Social behavior Totally Explained

Everything about Social Behaviour totally explained

In biology, psychology and sociology social behavior is behavior directed towards, or taking place between, members of the same species. Behavior such as predation which involves members of different species isn't social. While many social behaviors are communication (provoke a response, or change in behavior, without acting directly on the receiver) communication between members of different species isn't social behavior. In sociology, "behavior" itself means an animal-like activity devoid of social meaning or social context, in contrast to "social behavior" which has both. In a sociological hierarchy, social behavior is followed by social action, which is directed at other people and is designed to induce a response. Further along this ascending scale are social interaction and social relation. In conclusion, social behavior is a process of communicating.
