Social Interactions Questionnaire

Social interaction can be defined as the relationship between two or more individuals or a group of people. Also known as social relation, the actions of a group may affect the actions of an individual. This effect can either be positive or negative. A social interactions questionnaire can be used to show that social interactions are not defined by physical or behavioral relations but by mutual orientation towards each other or their intentions. A social interactions questionnaire can be used to assess how individuals perceive social situations and use various technologies for social purposes.
