Nonetheless, Athens does present symbolic interaction with an initial approach to power, which this theory sorely needs. Group to group generalized exchange can occur also through mutually exclusive groups (item 10) or overlapping groups (item 11). Symbolic interactionism provides a major contribution to understanding inequality by illuminating the various manifestations and contexts of inequality at the micro, everyday level of social life. Expand 54 Emotion and Social Life: A Symbolic Interactionist Analysis S. Shott Sociology American Journal of Sociology 1979 Ones and the others alternatives are measured by the number of alternatives times their value, which is the value of the alternative times its probability. We do not have to trade caring for power, and for the most part, we can see these two forces as being consubstantial in society. However, Strauss does not go far with this conception of bargaining as it might appear in political action. First, in chain exchange (item 7) one person gives to another who then gives to a third party, and this continues to include more and more people as in pay it forward. Second, there are individual to closed group and open group exchanges (items 8 and 9). While this more or less goes back to Thomas Hobbes and the war of all against all, we do not have to flip flop on the basic motivations of humans and see that we all are motivated by both love and hate, cooperation or conflict, or caring and violence. In other words, if you constantly depend on another person for food, income, entertainment and shelter (e.g., a child to a parent, or a worker to the managers of a company town), while you supply none of these and other values to the other, then your other has a high amount of power over you since they could deny you these values. Symbolic interactionism is a sociological theory that develops from practical considerations and alludes to particular effects of communication and interaction in people to make images and normal implications, for deduction and correspondence with others. The conflict theory garners most individuals into two classes that stimulate inequality. In another way, a gift may be given to the taker, but the giver extracts a promise of a favor in the future. In a formula this might be: Your Power = 1 / Others dependencies on you, The others power = 1 / Your dependencies on the other, Relative power in = (Your power) (Others power). They are not as subordinated as those with degraded status, and they may achieve some limited mobility. In table 5.1, I present eleven different exchange relationships divided between restricted and generalized exchange, but I will only go over the main points. 2017; Sandstrom et al. The first issue is what role social interaction plays in the reduction ethnic and racial hostility. Eventually, they become upper-middle class by maintaining both their kinship and business ties by emphasizing positive family and business generalized others. The symbolic interaction perspective, also called symbolic interactionism, is a major framework of the sociological theory. For example, consider the following: In Chapel Hill in the early 2000s, an African-American nurse promises to buy her daughter a dress for the prom, but her choice at a reasonable price at the department store is deemed mundane by her daughter. Search in book: Search Contents. While they may have their differences, they show a lot of similarities when comparing certain traits within a certain theory including the economic inequality, deviance and gender as discussed above. Also, Richard Titmus in the The Gift Relationship (1997) describes the difference between exchanging blood based on it being a gift or being paid for the donation. However, there are some people who are always in the restricted exchange mode (e.g., what have you done for me lately?). They will develop positive generalized others with the subcultures that they may produce. They then become one of the largest legal firms in a 10 state area. The firm of Wilson and Wilson become quite successful, and eventually the younger brothers and two children who become lawyers then expand the business to six other states. First, Helen Hilton marries a musician who then becomes a factory worker. And the subordinates react to oppressive othering in a number of different ways. However, in tracking the patterns of social interaction to their troubling consequences, we heed the advice of an early interactionist, Blumer (1969), who urged symbolic interactionist researchers . Symbolic Interactionist Theory Revised for Political Sociology Interactional Ritual Chains and Differential Association Power and Inequality in Symbolic Interaction From Generalized Others to Social Networks and Groups to Social Structure and Culture Conclusion Power and Inequality in Symbolic Interaction In row 6 (items 16, 17 and 18) lower status persons with perhaps certain abilities and talents that they themselves recognize view their low status as being due to discrimination and bias coming from higher status persons. Helen Hilton engaged in the least bridging capital to higher social classes. Restricted and generalized exchange relate to how generalized others are constructed. Joseph married Rose Fitzgerald, the daughter of the then Irish Mayor of Boston. We focus on how an interactionist analysis of emotions has. [1] This theory is elaborated by Samuel Bacharach and Edward Lawler (1980, 1981; Cook and Rice ) as power being the inverse of the number of valued alternatives that one may have in the sense of not being dependent on the relationship with the other. Social exchange is more generalized exchange as one might pursue in ones family or friend network. The whole process of oppressive othering is linked to highly charged emotions on the part of both the oppressors and the subordinates. This involves two aspects of networking. Closer relationships like kin and close friends are more often in a generalized exchange relationship with a high degree of bonding in long-term relationships. Symbolic Interactionist Theory Revised for Political Sociology Interactional Ritual Chains and Differential Association Power and Inequality in Symbolic Interaction From Generalized Others to Social Networks and Groups to Social Structure and Culture Conclusion Power and Inequality in Symbolic Interaction Symbolic interactionism is a micro-level theory that focuses on the relationships among individuals within a society. Ones and the others alternatives are measured by the number of alternatives times their value, which is the value of the alternative times its probability. (2000) provide a more nuanced view of oppressive othering by viewing different attributions with external and internal reactions from generalized others. In their fearful position, they intensify their oppressive othering through discrimination with high intensity and emotion. In network terms, these processes are more reliant on strong ties than weak ties (Granovetter 1973). However, when groups are involved in strategic action then these calculations, in as much as they can be made, become quite important. In it, gifts can be used to benefit the whole community through philanthropy, but they also may serve to create patrimonial relationships. There are some strong inclinations toward bargaining theory in symbolic interactionist theory. Third, the eldest son of a middle-class family, George Wilson, becomes a personal injury lawyer and is quite successful. Thus, social stratification is a result of these individual interactions. However, there are some people who are always in the restricted exchange mode (e.g., what have you done for me lately?). However, a weak norm of generalized reciprocity (i.e., restricted exchange) will create weaker social bonds. Recall, the Mafia Don played by Marlon Brando in the opening scene of The Godfather taking care of an Italian fathers wish to revenge the shabby treatment of his daughter by some Anglo-boys. Beverly Johnson combined bonding and bridging capital to maintain family solidarity and to advance her husbands career (since the husbands father died early, this limited greater bridging capital) both through the absence of the father and the tendency for widows sociality being restricted (i.e., there is no husband to promote and her lowered income makes the husbands mother a bit downwardly mobile). And you know that the funeral director will not only do it to repay his debt, but if he does not, the Don will most certainly take a pound of flesh. These can be seen in birthday parties in a family (group to individual that is closed by family members) or birthday parties at work where the exact people in the group may be constantly changing as employees come and go. They will develop positive generalized others with the subcultures that they may produce. Symbolic interactionism symbolic interactionism symbolic interactionism is sociological perspective that emphasizes the role of symbols, language, and Their internalizations are highly manipulative and can often be violent because they are located closest to the boundary between high and low status, and they know it. Oppressive othering penetrates the generalized other of Mead and indicates that people may promote or justify their positions in society by providing looking glass-self messages to others that they are inferior, inept, unworthy or otherwise inferior to themselves. In one way or another, George convinces his three brothers and one sister to also become personal injury lawyers. In row 4 (items 10, 11 and 12), people with low rank view their social position due to their lack of ability, and they engage in accepting the other imposed upon them by higher ranking people. More recently, Monica Whitman (2021) has shown that a strong norm of reciprocity will have powerful effects leading to social trust and generalized exchange for the betterment of the group. This means that for those who go upward on the social scale, some will go downward. Constructivism is a theory developed from symbolic interactionism. Collins theory is based on people being unequal in their resources, which links to power resources theory but he is a bit vague about the connection. A symbolic interactionist who does directly confront symbolic interactionism on questions of power is Lonnie Athens (1992, 1997). This section interrogates the concept of power and its weak presence in symbolic interactionist theory, and then goes into the theorys conceptions of inequality. 2017; Sandstrom et al. However, in this book, I find that they can be profitably put together or synthesized. It is a further question of whether these negotiations or social bargains are involved with restricted or generalized exchange. For an auto example, Ford Motor Company has had many Ford family members running the company; however, General Motors has had only one Sloan in the form of Alfred P. Sloan who had no children and his foundation operates on the East Coast. While the women largely stay at home, the male members of this kin group help each other to gain high paying jobs within the same industry as her husband with one becoming quite wealthy. It is a further question of whether these negotiations or social bargains are involved with restricted or generalized exchange. Symbolic interactionism concentrates on individuals who assign, share and agree on symbolic meanings and mannerisms. Gender inequality is almost always prominent towards a female rather than towards a male. Third, there are individual to societal exchanges whereby an individual agrees to various terms with a larger societal group. The mother reluctantly buys the dress for the ecstatic daughter, but angrily tells her mother (the daughters grandmother) that the scion has underpaid you for years, and that this is exactly what keeps us in our place.. For an auto example, Ford Motor Company has had many Ford family members running the company; however, General Motors has had only one Sloan in the form of Alfred P. Sloan who had no children and his foundation operates on the East Coast. Theories of Exchange in Social Psychology. In row 2 (items 4, 5 and 6) high ranking people have largely inherited their rank by ascriptive principles and they rely on their traditional positions but may need to engage in defensive othering and internalization, In row 3 (items 7, 8 and 9), some people have high rank due to bias and discrimination and they are quite insecure and very much subject to downward mobility. Third, there are individual to societal exchanges whereby an individual agrees to various terms with a larger societal group. The two types of behavior have two different types of exchange. In row 6 (items 16, 17 and 18) lower status persons with perhaps certain abilities and talents that they themselves recognize view their low status as being due to discrimination and bias coming from higher status persons. Schwalbe et al. Her idea for social mobility is to work herself at the telephone company and maintain kinship and neighborly social relations. Generalized exchange looks to the betterment of the group as a whole, while restricted exchange is about the individual gaining for themselves. Authors Alex Dennis 1 , Peter J Martin Affiliation 1 School of English, Sociology, Politics and Contemporary History, University of Salford, UK. Fourth, there are two kinds of group-to-group exchange. Medical doctors rising above homeopaths with the Flexner Report are a good example, but the process also applies to nurses seeking bachelors degrees to promote the status of RNs (Larson 1977; Abbott 1988). In one way or another, George convinces his three brothers and one sister to also become personal injury lawyers. The low-status people will have negative generalized others vis--vis the high-status othering persons. Schwalbe et al.s (2000) view of blockages goes beyond Merton to state that higher elites impose oppressive othering on low status people through emotion, discrimination, and self-processes of internalization or counter-othering. When searching the word "socialization", the definition found was as follows: "a continuing process whereby an . First, Helen Hilton marries a musician who then becomes a factory worker. Second, Beverly Johnson comes from an ethnic and lower-middle-class family and marries a man whose family has a prominent background. In the end, I conclude that both Athens and Mead are right but both are also incomplete. For instance, Anselm Strauss (1978; Strauss et al. They will develop positive generalized others with the subcultures that they may produce. They have deference and may have shame, but they seek to avoid these emotions by building negative subcultures where they are accepted with their deficiencies. 2014: 185-86) speaks of a negotiated order and mentions bargaining. A major difference between the two concerns how strategic people can be. This generalized exchange does not demand immediate payback and helping one may lead to them helping another so that the initiator of the exchange does not expect immediate payback. One might say that this looks a bit like Robert Mertons theory of deviance (1938); however, the big difference is that Merton focused on blockages that exist but said little about the motivation and process by which they are accepted or overcome, and nothing about the emotions that they generate. They then become one of the largest legal firms in a 10 state area. Consequently, it is also important to focus on the higher status persons who are subject to downward mobility because they will also be highly defensive, resistant and even violent. We will refer to those who operate with more restricted exchange as opportunists in the next chapter on citizen selves. Helen Hilton engaged in the least bridging capital to higher social classes. Schwalbe et al.s (2000) view of blockages goes beyond Merton to state that higher elites impose oppressive othering on low status people through emotion, discrimination, and self-processes of internalization or counter-othering. 2014: 46-47; Reynolds 1987). The end result is a more nuanced and extended theory of power in society with elements of motivation at the individual and group level. Social exchange is more generalized exchange as one might pursue in ones family or friend network. In row 1 (items 1, 2 and 3) high status persons who feel that their status is based on ability engage in self-justified othering where they are validated, and they develop powerful virtual selves. In the end, I conclude that both Athens and Mead are right but both are also incomplete. It is a form of group exchange where one person gives to another, who then in turn gives to a third person. For example, an individual receiving unemployment insurance promises to be ready and able to work, and to search for work and fail in order to receive the benefit. The second one is how ethnicity and race are socially constructed. First, in chain exchange (item 7) one person gives to another who then gives to a third party, and this continues to include more and more people as in pay it forward. Second, there are individual to closed group and open group exchanges (items 8 and 9). In simple terms, people in society understand their social worlds through communication the exchange of meaning through language and symbols. Social Exchange in Symbolic Interaction with Bonding and Bridging Capital. As we have seen with the Trump-base, many of these people state I want my country back and Make America Great again. While one might self-righteously declare them as unjustified, they do not agree, and they are a political force to be reckoned with. This view of othering interacts with social mobility. Social networks of kin and association in social mobility settings can occur in different formats according to bonding and bridging capital. These can be seen in birthday parties in a family (group to individual that is closed by family members) or birthday parties at work where the exact people in the group may be constantly changing as employees come and go. The exchange is usually short (money paid for material objects, knowledge or personal services) and both parties are self-interested. Reading across the tables columns, the first three rows represent higher status persons, and the latter three rows are lower status persons. This section interrogates the concept of power and its weak presence in symbolic interactionist theory, and then goes into the theorys conceptions of inequality. Social Exchange in Symbolic Interaction with Bonding and Bridging Capital. There are also many examples of people gaining great wealth or political influence through more restricted exchange. They have deference and may have shame, but they seek to avoid these emotions by building negative subcultures where they are accepted with their deficiencies. But Athens does point to a critical weakness of symbolic interactionism as he comes up with a contrary view of the good socialization process described by George Herbert Mead, which is the process of violentization thesis. Exchange theory then leads to bargaining processes, which will be discussed more fully in chapter 9 on the macro-level. However, I want to move Schwalbe et al.s view of inequality further in the direction of social mobility. More market exchange, often among strangers, is restricted exchange where one expects immediate payback. This means that for those who go upward on the social scale, some will go downward. In network terms, these processes are more reliant on strong ties than weak ties (Granovetter 1973). Trust may develop. While the women largely stay at home, the male members of this kin group help each other to gain high paying jobs within the same industry as her husband with one becoming quite wealthy. Symbolic interaction has a particular weakness concerning a concept critical to political sociology and that is the concept of power. A symbolic interactionist who does directly confront symbolic interactionism on questions of power is Lonnie Athens (1992, 1997). However, I want to move Schwalbe et al.s view of inequality further in the direction of social mobility. . But it is the high ranking but protected people and the low-ranking discriminated people who are the most likely to engage in social mobility conflicts. In row 1 (items 1, 2 and 3) high status persons who feel that their status is based on ability engage in self-justified othering where they are validated, and they develop powerful virtual selves. There are some strong inclinations toward bargaining theory in symbolic interactionist theory. Schwalbe et al. Exclusive group negotiations may be harder to maintain than overlapping negotiations. [1] I use exchange theory since it is better suited to my purposes than Collins rather short discussion of power and status rituals (2002: 111-114; 348-349). Generalized exchange looks to the betterment of the group as a whole, while restricted exchange is about the individual gaining for themselves. This does not mean that all social mobility in families is tied to generalized exchange. This is presented in table 5.2 along with material from Jonathan Turner and Jan Stets (2004). Or if the exchange is to take place over a long period of time, perhaps for loans and bond purchases, the arrangement is firmly structured with a contract that covers many different aspects of the exchange. When people engage in sociation often with generalized exchange they are interacting according to the process of sociation. But when people engage in strategic interaction they are following interaction through power, which may be conscious by tough negotiators or may have been socialized into them through violentization. And further, there are processes in between. Political sociology can use these exchange processes to show how various political interactions can be negotiated. All of the families used internal generalized exchange which can be referred to as bonding capital (Putnam 2000, 2020). Given these points, there are clear differences between the structural functionalist, social conflict and symbolic interaction theories. More market exchange, often among strangers, is restricted exchange where one expects immediate payback. It integrates a bargaining theory of power into symbolic interactionism, and alters the symbolic interactionist discussion of power by putting it into a context of social exchange . Symbolic Interactionism is a theoretical framework in sociology that describes how societies are created and maintained through the repeated actions of individuals (Carter and Fuller, 2015). One could make a similar comment about the Bush family as a political dynasty (Baker 2008). Symbolic Interactionism Whereas the functionalist and conflict perspectives are macro approaches, symbolic interactionism is a micro approach that focuses on the interaction of individuals and on how they interpret their interaction. He questions George Herbert Meads predication of symbolic interaction as being based on sociation, which is the general consensual pursuit of cooperate social relations. After a successful business and political career, he promoted his sons as politicians. [1] I use exchange theory since it is better suited to my purposes than Collins rather short discussion of power and status rituals (2002: 111-114; 348-349). Following Goffman and bridging Mead and Athens, there seem to be two modes of behavior: (1) a general form of sociation where people generally intend to get along with each other as friends and associates, and (2) a strategic form of interaction that looks more like bargaining behavior where one has a sense of seeking specific monetary or other gains. Much of this type of exchange is linked to rational action as per Max Webers concepts of rationality. This is presented in table 5.2 along with material from Jonathan Turner and Jan Stets (2004). Symbolic Interactionism As discussed in the opening module, W.E.B. Among her husbands business associates, it consists of being the life of the party and maintaining long-term friendships with business associates. Power in Symbolic Interactionism via Social Exchange Theory. Consequently, it is also important to focus on the higher status persons who are subject to downward mobility because they will also be highly defensive, resistant and even violent. In table 5.1, I present eleven different exchange relationships divided between restricted and generalized exchange, but I will only go over the main points. 2017; Sandstrom et al. The interactionist perspective on inequality looks at how certain social roles have more power or authority than others. These reactions will also relate to the processes of positive, negative, and neutral generalized others discussed in the previous section. It integrates a bargaining theory of power into symbolic interactionism, and alters the symbolic interactionist discussion of power by putting it into a context of social exchange and types of social mobility.
