LEARNING CONCEPT
I. Social Interaction
You live in a society made up of many people, but the group you are most familiar with is your
social circle. You are familiar with the members of your social circle because you mingle and
communicate with them often.
Several Social Circles
1. Family Circle – mother, father, brother/s, sister/s
2. Extended Family Circle – grandparents, cousins, relatives, godparents
3. Peer Circle – friends and classmates
4. Community Circle – neighbors and others

Social Interaction – refers to “spontaneous verbal exchanges occurring in natural settings that are
typically familiar to the interactants.”
Emotional Expression – Is a manifestation of one’s internal emotional state. It is an important social
signal that conveys a variety of information regarding a person’s state of mind and his or her
intentions.

Certain protocols or rules should be observed for social interactions to be successful,

especially outside your immediate circles. You will conduct and express yourself differently. Your
language and tone will likely be different, as will your gesture and other nonverbal cues.
Below are some examples of protocols:

1. Do not overly familiar with your superior or any person of authority. Address him or her
appropriately and show respect at all times.
2. Do not make inappropriate jokes or body contact.
3. Always show respect and courtesy.
4. Do not use loaded words.
5. In an argument, stick to the issue and do not resort to personal attacks.
