Interactionists look at society on a small scale. They do not want to generalise their ideas to the whole of society.

Interactionists study how people behave in small scalesituations. For example they would not look at what education does for the whole of society, but they would look at one class in a school and look at how the teachers and pupils treat each other. They would then look at how this affects exam results.

Interactionists are interested in looking at how people interact/behave with each in different situations, e.g. in school, at home and at work.

In conclusion they study interactions on a small scale.
