The Analysis of Social Interactions: Methods, Issues, and Illustrations (en Inglés) - Robert B. Cairns

First published in1979, The Analysis of Social Interactions examines advances in methodologies for studying social interactions and explores their implications.

The book is divided into three parts. Part I, Design, Techniques, and Analysis, focuses on the methods themselves. Part II, Illustrations, demonstrates how these methods apply to areas of social development such as aggressive family systems, the ontogeny of play, and the origin of social interactions. Part III, Summary and Conclusions, proposes guidelines for interactional research, synthesizing key ideas from throughout the book.

This volume will be a valuable read for students and researchers of behavioural sciences and sociology.
