Symbolic Interaction (journal)

Symbolic Interaction is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to the study of symbolic interactionism and related social psychological and sociological perspectives. It is the official journal of the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction (SSSI).

The journal publishes original research articles, theoretical essays, and book reviews that explore the micro-level processes of social interaction, meaning-making, and the construction of self and society. Topics covered typically include, but are not limited to: identity, language, communication, deviance, social change, organizations, and social movements, examined through the lens of symbolic interactionism.

Symbolic Interaction aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and advance understanding of the ways in which individuals create, negotiate, and transform social reality through their interactions with one another. It is intended for scholars, researchers, and students in sociology, communication studies, psychology, anthropology, and related fields. The journal is published quarterly.
