The tools used to interact and communicate with others?

• A. Social Cognitivism
• B. Socialization
• C. Social Skills
• D. Primary Socialization

Answer: (C)

This item is about the behaviors people use to interact and communicate. Social skills are the practical ways we engage with others—greeting someone, taking turns speaking, making eye contact, listening, asking clarifying questions, interpreting others’ feelings, and adjusting our communication to fit the situation. These are the actual tools you use to interact, which is why this choice fits best. Other terms describe broader ideas: socialization is the overall process of learning norms, values, and behaviors from culture and family; social cognition (or social cognitive theory) focuses on how people think about and learn from social information; primary socialization refers to the early, family-based phase of learning social norms. So while those are important concepts, they don’t name the specific skills people use to interact and communicate.
