Social Behavior




In sociology, " Behavior " itself means an animal-like activity devoid of social Meaning or social context, in contrast to "social behavior" which has both. In a sociological hierarchy, social behavior is followed by Social Action , which is directed at other people and is designed to induce a response. Further along this ascending scale are Social Interaction and Social Relation .


GENDER-ORIENTED GROUPS

Among members of certain species, such as Apes (Superfamily Hominoidea) , Horse s (more broadly, Family Equidae ), Dog s and Whale s, young non-dominant males can spontaneously form bachelor groups or '''bachelor bands''' (see Fraternity ). The corresponding social structure for females is the '''harem'''. Unlike the bachelor group, the harem is typically organized around a single dominant male.
