ü What Is the Social Process
A process is
defined as "continuous change taking place in a defined manner through the
activity of forces present from the beginning within the situation" by Maciver
and Page. It is also known as the social interaction process. Social
interactions can be divided into two sorts, and social processes are the
byproducts of these interactions. Social process is associative and disassociative.

Social
interaction is the source of all social processes. Social processes including
cooperation, competitiveness, and conflict are a constant in human life. The
process changes concurrently with changes in interaction patterns. These
procedures are referred to as social interaction patterns. Either associative
or disassociative mechanisms underlie social interaction.
People tend
to assist one another through associative patterns. They participate in a few
different facets of social life. People become isolated from one another as a
result of dissociative processes. They are different in at least one social
characteristic. Here are a few key definitions.
1. Horton
and Hunt, first the recurrent behaviors that are frequently seen in social
life are referred to as the "social process."
2. By social
processes, Moris Ginsberg refers to the various ways that people or
groups interact, such as social difference and integration, conflict and collaboration,
growth and decay.
3. According
to F.E. Merill, "It alludes to the repeated forms that social
interaction takes. Additionally, he added that social processes "involve
modes of social interaction that recur within the community."
