Symbolic consumption can exert an a priori effect on role definition, especially in situations where scripts are weak (Solomon 1983). 7. Such alternatives may be evaluated based on the meanings that they are perceived to impart, especially with respect to the presentation of a self-image. Symbolic products "set the stage" for the various social roles that people assume, and the consumption of such products is designed to indicate and clarify the meaning of role behavior. Download File PDF Symbolic Interactionism Perspective And Method Symbolic Interactionism Perspective and Method Blumer's symbolic interactionism is a theory in sociology that focused in the 1930s on the study of interaction between people and brought in field studies as the data collection method of choice (Blumer, ); they do so on the meanings those things have for them. this has implications for identity and cultural formation form the point of view of discourse and Symbolic interactionism presents a commonsensical approach to analyzing how two parties interpret each others actions. Are able to Introduction and give meaning to the perceptions of teachers and was a predictor of success. Information related to the environmental implications of consumption behaviors can have a significant influence on the symbolic processes associated with those behaviors (Allen 1982; Olney and Bryce 1991). Lazer, William (1969), "Marketing's Changing Social Relationships," Journal of Marketing, 33, 3-9. Advances in Consumer Research Volume 17, 1990 Pages 386-393. The above discussion of the implications of the SI perspective for ERC research suggests several research issues that can be organized around the main elements of the role-identity concept: 1. This paper submits that the SI perspective can facilitate such research. Rebecca H. Holman and Michael R. Solomon, Ann Arbor, MI: Association for Consumer Research, 697-702. Decisions made in such situations would be tied to a situational self-image where the perception of others in the situation influences which self-image is evoked (Schenk and Holman 1980). Both the conventional and idiosyncratic elements of role-identities have implications for ERC. Outline its char- acter G. H. Mead ( 1934 ), Emerald Group Publishing Limited, Bingley pp! How do role-identities affect the reinforcement (or abandonment) of habits? Role performance associated with such a role-identity may result in the development of corresponding attitudes (e.g., "Protecting the environment is the most important issue today") and lines of action (e.g., organizing neighborhood recycling projects).

In the applied arena, Henion (1972) found a relative loss of market share for detergent brands high in phosphate and a gain for brands low in phosphate when consumers were provided with phosphate-content information. In what ways is role support for an ERC role-identity manifested? Second, a considerable amount of consumer research addressed the energy crisis of the late 1970s and early 1980s. REFERENCES Allen, Chris T. (1982), "Self-Perception Based Strategies for Stimulating Energy Conservation," Journal of Consumer Research, 8(March), 381-390. For example, family members or friends could witness the purchase of an ozone-depleting aerosol, or consumers could be asked, "Paper or plastic?" Interactionism (Education) Interactionism or symbolic interactionism is a social action or micro theory based around the idea that individuals create meaning based on their interactions with others. Symbolic interactionism considers the individual as a subject with a social position on the one hand. The above discussion of the implications of the SI perspective for ERC research suggests several research issues that can be organized around the main elements of the role-identity concept: Role-Identity Issues 1. Finally, Antil (1984) found that perceived consumer effectiveness, willingness to undertake efforts to be socially responsible, knowledge of environmental issues, and environmental concern were positively related to a measure of socially responsible consumption tendency. Weiss (1971) anticipated that the "style" of our economy would shift away from one characterized by excessive production, consumption, and waste to one characterized by extensive recycling and more rational levels of production. While the symbolic elements of consumption have been addressed by many authors (e.g., Holbrook 1978; Levy 1981; Belk, Bahn, and Mayer 1982; Holbrook and Hirschman 1982; Levy 1982; Holman 1983; Belk, Mayer, and Driscoll 1984; McCracken 1986; Mick 1986; Solomon 1988; Belk 1988), discussion of the SI perspective in consumer research has been limited. 131 0 obj

Richard P. Bagozzi and Alice M. Tybout, Ann Arbor: Association for Consumer Research, 652-654. The marketing literature does contain some work regarding environmentally-responsible consumption (hereafter, ERC). For example, environmentally-responsible habits may be learned from parents, school projects, etc. Antil, John H. (1984), "Socially Responsible Consumers: Profile and Implications for Public Policy," Journal of Macromarketing, 4(Fall), 18-39. Rebecca H. Holman and Michael R. Solomon, Ann Arbor, MI: Association for Consumer Research, 697-702. What factors facilitate the link between the establishment of an "environmentally-responsible" role-identity and actual environmentally-responsible consumption behaviors? Role-identities determine our interpretations of the meanings of situations, events, and people that we encounter in social interactions (McCall and Simmons 1978). First Sailboat For Beginners, Weiss (1971) anticipated that the "style" of our economy would shift away from one characterized by excessive production, consumption, and waste to one characterized by extensive recycling and more rational levels of production. Uusitalo, Liisa (1986), Environmental Impacts of Consumption Patterns, Broodfield, VT: Gower.

University of Nicosia in the field of Education Policy & Leadership, Cyprus [emailprotected] hermeneutics and symbolic interactionism. 2) Symbols used in education institutions should be properly thought out so as to convey the correct meaning in social life. COMMENTARY AND DEBATE Sociological Implications of the Thought of George Herbert Mead My purpose is to depict the nature of human society when seen from the point of view of George Herbert Mead. Functional constraints involve lack of availability of environmentally-responsible alternatives in some product categories, inadequate dissemination of information about the environmental consequences of consumption behaviors, and diminished performance of some environmentally-responsible products. These two views of symbolic interactionism are often referred to, respectively, as the Chiago school and the Iowa school of symbolic interaction theory. Technology has changed the way we interact but nonetheless, our human selves are educated through various forms of Social Interaction. This complexity, combined with the current relevance of environmental issues, presents significant research opportunities. Social interaction is practiced in classrooms, playgrounds, and other parts of school among students (Lumen Learning, n.d.). 8. Downs, Phillip E. and Jon B.

What specific aspects of personality and lifestyle facilitate role performance for an ERC role-identity? As this congruence is seldom entirely possible, role support -- social testimony in support of his imaginings -- takes on considerable value to the person and may in fact become the major goal of a particular performance (McCall and Simmons 1978, p. 72-3, emphasis in original). The purpose of this paper is to provide a discussion on the construction of followership identity among teachers in Kenya which has had less attention.

This frame revises Mead's aphorism. An understanding of what that information means to the consumer and how it is incorporated into interpretive processes of self-image or role-identity formation is vastly more important for gaining an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon.

The changes explanations as the other three theories, feminist theory focuses on gender inequality education. Conversely, some ERC decisions may involve a trade-off analysis. 151-168. In sum, previous academic treatment of ERC has provided descriptions of general relationships among relevant variables and has defended normative thought. Next, the symbolic interactionist perspective is described and its relationship to consumption behaviors is discussed. Webster (1975) characterized the socially conscious consumer as a member of the upper-middle class "counterculture" that is willing to engage in purchase behaviors that are consistent with personal standards of responsibility, even though the behaviors may not be "popularly accepted."

How is conflicting or contradictory information handled in the process of interpreting symbols and developing or modifying role-identities? Individuals' interpretations of the potential reactions of others can then serve to reinforce, modify, or negate the intended course of action. An examination of these and other constructs in an ERC context would contribute to the body of knowledge about ERC. Symbolic interactionist studies of education examine social interaction in the classroom, on the playground, and in other school venues. Information related to the environmental implications of consumption behaviors can have a significant influence on the symbolic processes associated with those behaviors (Allen 1982; Olney and Bryce 1991). Symbolic products "set the stage" for the various social roles that people assume, and the consumption of such products is designed to indicate and clarify the meaning of role behavior.

However, research that simply examines the correlation between environmental information and ERC attitudes and behaviors, while perhaps necessary, is insufficient. These studies help us understand what happens in the schools themselves, but they also help us understand how what occurs in school is relevant . As Olney and Bryce (1991) suggest, ERC research can benefit from addressing the different stages of the consumption process -- acquisition, use, and disposal. He states that irresponsible consumption in any given geographical area will, at least indirectly, affect the state of resources elsewhere on the planet, and that analysis should thus be conducted on a global level. Also, advertising and promotions are increasingly emphasizing the positive environmental effects of products. Allen (1982) found that perceived consumer effectiveness was linked to responsiveness to influence techniques and propensity for energy-conserving behavior (see also Awad et al. Environmental knowledge, education, liberalism, and perceived personal control were found to predict use of recycling centers (Arbuthnot 1977). McCracken, Grant (1986), "Culture and Consumption: A Theoretical Account of the Structure and Movement of the Cultural Meaning of Consumer Goods," Journal of Consumer Research, 13(June), 71-84. How do the reactions (both actual and anticipated or imagined) of others influence role performance associated with an ERC-related role-identity? Sociology provides researchers with the theoretical perspective of symbolic interactionism (SI). 3. 3. This paper proposes and seeks to demonstrate that the conceptual implications of SI correspond compellingly to the conceptual issues involved in ERC, and that the application of the SI perspective can improve the level of understanding of ERC. A consumer's perception of the responses of others to some degree reflects those responses. To what degree is environmentally-related symbolism a stimulus for acquisition, use, and disposal behaviors? Of all new members process, organized society exists before the appearance of all social psychologies methods! Also, the symbolism associated with environmentally-related use and disposal behaviors may stimulate their enactment. Plans of action are executed based on the meanings of objects (i.e., things, people, or ideas) encountered; therefore, people constantly identify and interpret the meanings of objects that are relevant to their plans. 47), Emerald Group Publishing Limited, Bingley, pp. What are the situational and temporal factors associated with the elicitation of role support?

Finally, the most important object whose identity (and its meaning) must be consensually established in any situation is the person him/herself. Taking an aggregate perspective, Fisk (1973, p. 24) defines responsible consumption as the "rational and efficient use of resources with respect to the global human population." Kelley (1971) predicted that the environment would become the most important social issue to be considered by the business community. Disposal situations include throwing away recyclable materials.

What do environmentally-symbolic consumption behaviors say about people to themselves in the course of self-interaction? Financial constraints on ERC could occur when environmentally-responsible consumption alternatives cost prohibitively more than other alternatives. What are the situational and temporal factors associated with the elicitation of role support? Financial facilitators include incentives to stimulate energy conservation (Hutton and McNeill 1981; Hutton and Markley 1991). 10, eds. Webster, Frederick E., Jr. (1975), "Determining the Characteristics of the Socially Conscious Consumer," Journal of Consumer Research, 2(December), 188-96.

These behaviors would be based in aspects of the role-identity that are developed through socialization and past social experiences. The underlying premises and major concepts of the symbolic interactionist perspective are reviewed to set the stage for a discussion of the theory as it could be applied to various levels of social work intervention. Karl E. Henion and Thomas C. Kinnear, Chicago: AMA, 157-68. Third, research that specifically discusses ERC has been conducted, addressing the phenomenon from both an aggregate and an individual perspective. The symbolic nature of environmentally-responsible products, uses, and disposal behaviors may be associated with the people who are involved with them.

Role-identities determine our interpretations of the meanings of situations, events, and people that we encounter in social interactions (McCall and Simmons 1978). By making such decisions, individuals reinforce their "environmentally-concerned" self-image. Application of Other SI Theoretical Considerations. 6. Surmises that marketers can create a products symbolic image, and should manage that image through a clear and consistent marketing program. Also, advertising and promotions are increasingly emphasizing the positive environmental effects of products. this study explained the meanings they had developed from their experiences. The fact that environmental issues and concerns are constantly changing (Hume 1991) implies that ongoing research into their influence on consumer behavior is essential. More recently, soci-ologists such as Hans Joas and Mustafa Emirbayer have returned to the original writings of Mead, to reconnect with a wider view of the relational and temporal dynamics in his thinking. In addition, role "self-support" can be used to maintain a role-identity through a process of self-interaction (McCall and Simmons 1978).
