Social behavior

Social behavior ( Engl. Social behavior ) - the interaction of two or more individuals (individuals) in a population of one species. The study of human social behavior is engaged in social psychology . Social behavior is also characteristic of many social animals (for example, primates , bees ), which are studied by ethologists , zoopsychologists and other specialists. Nicholas Tinbergen defines social behavior in animals as an interaction between representatives of the same species, specifically emphasizing that not every group activity will be social. For example, the flight of animals from a forest fire is not social behavior, it is a reaction caused by the instinct of self-preservation. The concept that economic factors are decisive in explaining social behavior is the concept of economic determinism .
