False. Social behavior can be driven by a variety of factors including self-interest, cooperation, competition, and altruism. While altruism is one form of social behavior where individuals act selflessly for the benefit of others, social behavior can also be motivated by selfish reasons or a mix of altruism and self-interest.
Many sociologists today use a combination of generalized theories and specific problems in their research. They often start with broader theoretical frameworks and then apply them to address specific social issues or problems. This approach helps to understand both the underlying patterns of social behavior and the unique dynamics of particular social contexts.
