Social communication is a field of research that examines how individuals interact and communicate within social settings. It includes the study of verbal and nonverbal communication, as well as the impact of social norms, cultural differences, and individual differences on communication dynamics. Researchers in this area may investigate how people use language and gestures to convey meaning, how they interpret social cues and emotions, and how they navigate social relationships and power dynamics through communication. Social communication research can have applications in areas such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, and communication studies.
