The article studies the social interaction of gifted children with their peers. Understanding the educational environment and the nature of social interaction helps developing necessary interventions with the goal to make a gifted child adapted. The goal of the paper is the analysis of the foreign literature; representation of the results of empirical research of social status and social interaction of gifted children in elementary school hold in 2016 in Holland. The used instruments: sociometric questionnaire of Rodriguea and Morera; behavior analysis protocol OPINTEC-v.5. Out of eight participants, one was the most rejected among peers (5th grade), two became the most popular among peers (3rd grade). The gifted children chose gifted and non-gifted children for interaction and established close interactions with them. When working together, the gifted children interacted more with popular and neutral peers; when playing together — with neutral peers. With reference to social interaction of gifted children with peers, only patterns demonstrating social effectiveness and social correspondence were found out.

Currently, one of the urgent problems of the education system is the search for effective methods of pedagogical support for the social development of intellectually gifted children and adolescents. The article contains the results of theoretical analysis and empirical research aimed at identifying the characteristics and level of formation of the culture of social interaction in intellectually gifted adolescents, considered as the main result of their social education in the educational environment of the school. The author reveals the essence of the culture of social interaction as a pedagogical phenomenon, develops diagnostic tools for its study and determines the level of its formation in 196 adolescents with outstanding mental abilities studying in grades 7-9 of secondary schools.

The question of social interaction of gifted children with their peers leads to a number of disputes among specialists in giftedness. It is known that such an interaction has a beneficial impact on the intellectual development and social growth, supports developing a various set of social skills and abilities. Generally, gifted children build good relations with their peers, especially in elementary school. At the same time, gifted children can feel neglected and not needed, have difficulties when establishing and monitoring the relations with their peers. Educational environment (homogeneous and heterogeneous) plays its role in educating gifted children and has both advantages and disadvantages. Understanding of the nature of social interaction helps developing necessary interventions with the purpose to make a gifted child adapted. The goal of the paper is the analysis of foreign research of social status, educational environment and social interaction of gifted children with their peers; representation of the results of empirical research of social status and social interaction of gifted children working and playing together which was carried out by the author in Holland with the help of sociometric and behavior tools (Instrument Observational Protocol for Interactions within the Classroom (OPINTEC-v.5). It is found out that in spite of the fact, one of eight participants was the most rejected among peers, five participants became popular among peers. When working and playing together, the gifted children chose gifted and non-gifted children for interaction and established close interactions with them. When working together, the gifted children interacted more with popular peers and peers of neutral social status, while when playing together – with peers of neutral social status. With reference to social interaction of gifted children with peers, only those patterns were found out that demonstrated social effectiveness and social correspondence

The present paper deals with behavioral assessment of social interaction in natural settings. The design of observational systems that allow the identification of the direction, contents, quality and social agents involved in a social interchange is an aim of social interaction assessment and research. In the first part a description of a system of behavioral observation of social interaction is presented. This system permits the identification of the above mentioned aspects. Secondly a strategy for the behavioral assessment of social skills is described. This strategy is based on the consequences and effects of social interaction, and it is supported by three basic processes: social effectiveness, social responsiveness and reciprocity.

The three articles from Volume 14 that are reviewed here are linked by a common theme: the social interactions of children with special educational needs. The countries involved, the target group of pupils and the methodology vary but each one draws attention to the complexities of the social dimension of inclusion and suggest that physical proximity alone does not ensure positive social interaction.

Abstract1. The relation between the social behavior and the electrical emissions of Gymnotus carapo is examined. 2. Members of the species Gymnotus carapo approach certain sources of electrical stimuli and, in a statistically significant number of instances, assume a stance parallel to the plane from which the stimuli originate. 3. The approach and postural responses elicited by electrical cues resemble those observed when two fish, placed in the same tank, interact socially. 4. Electrical cues therefore appear to facilitate certain social interactions in Gymnotus carapo. 5. The character of electrical emission in Gymnotus carapo appears to change as a function of certain social interaction: a. Interaction resembling aggression is accompanied by brief increases in the frequency of emission. b. The increases in frequency appear to be linked to thrusting movements. c. Fish interacting with one another appear to lock into a common frequency more often than fish that are not in physical contact with one another. d. During social interaction, one of the two fish is occasionally observed to halt emissions altogether. 6. The exact significance of the social behavior observed in the context of the life history of Gymnotus carapo is unknown.

The aims of this research is to analyse about the differences of emotional lexicon used by male and female communication in South Kuta-Bali when they used Balinese language in their daily interaction.  The scope of male and female is closely related to the social behavior which includes the social identity of male and female in society and this becomes the basis of how the language is used in this context of social. This research is interested to uncover more how people use language in terms of expressing their emotional in social interaction. This study is a sociolinguistic approach used the theory from Hickey, Raymon (2010). The data source in this study is the south Kuta community who use Balinese language in social interactions. The Data collection is done by observation, interview, recording and note taking and descriptive qualitative method is applied to analyze the data. The result of the analysis found that the emotional lexical is used by the male and female in their social interaction, it could mention that both Augmentatives and Euphemisms is used by male and female in their social interaction however the augmentative is mostly used by female in informal occasion. Balinese female often used prohibition instead of imperative in expressing her idea about ordering someone to do something. In the other hand, the male directly used imperative sentence in ordering something. He usually does not use many awkwardness to say his point in a conversation. This may be considered that the male often go to the straight point when expressing his idea. Keywords: Emotional Lexicon, Male and Female

<p>This research assessed the social interaction and the academic performance of the deaf and hard of hearing students in a school for the deaf in Cebu City, Philippines. There were 49 respondents who were assessed in terms of their social interaction and academic performance. A survey questionnaire was used to assess the level of their social interaction and their grades were used to measure their academic performance. Data gathered were treated statistically using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that the respondents had an average age of 19.5 years old that are deaf with 3 to 4 siblings. The respondents had high social interaction with their teachers and peers but had moderate social interaction with their family members and very low social interaction with the hearing students. They perform satisfactorily in school. There were significant relationships between their interaction with their family members and the hearing students. Thus, school administrators are encouraged to design programs that would improve the social interactions of the deaf and hard of hearing students within the school community and at home. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0970/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Social laterality in non-human primates has started to attract attention in recent years. The positioning of individuals during social interactions could possibly suggest the nature of a relationship and the social ranking of the subjects involved. The subjects of the present study were 12 adult Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) housed in a zoological garden. We carried out fourteen 210-min video-recorded sessions and we used a focal animal sampling method to collect the position of the subjects during different social interactions. Data on the position of each macaque during three types of social interactions were collected (approach, proximity and affiliative contacts). Moreover, we focused on the outcomes of dyadic agonistic encounters to build the hierarchy of the colony. For each social interaction, two conditions were considered: the side preference (being kept on the left or on the right) and the sagittal preference (being kept in front or on the rear). Bouts of preference of different positions were collected for different social interactions (approach, proximity and contacts). No group-level side preferences were found for any social interaction, suggesting that both hemispheres might be complemental and balance each other during intraspecific communication. For the sagittal preference, we found a group-level bias for proximity, with macaques being kept in front rather than on the rear by close conspecifics. This might be due to the need to detect emotions and intentions of conspecifics. Moreover, high-ranking individuals are kept more frontally than on the rear when in proximity with other macaques. More studies are needed to better investigate social laterality, possibly distinguishing more categories of social interaction, and detecting other variables that might influence the positioning preferences.

Abstract Autistic difficulties with social interaction have primarily been understood as expressions of underlying impairment of the ability to ‘mindread.’ Although this understanding of autism and social interaction has raised controversy in the phenomenological community for decades, the phenomenological criticism remains largely on a philosophical level. This article helps fill this gap by discussing how phenomenology can contribute to empirical methodologies for studying social interaction in autism. By drawing on the phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and qualitative data from an ongoing study on social interaction in autism, I discuss how qualitative interviews and participant observation can yield phenomenologically salient data on social interaction. Both, I argue, enjoy their phenomenological promise through facilitating attention to the social-spatial-material fields in and through which social interactions and experiences arise. By developing phenomenologically sound approaches to studying social interaction, this article helps resolve the deficiency of knowledge concerning experiential dimensions of social interaction in autism.

Biological entities (ranging from bacteria to humans) can engage in many and varied types of social interaction, from altruistic cooperation to open conflict. A paradigmatic case of social interaction is cooperative problem solving (CPS), where a group of autonomous entities work together to achieve a common goal. For example, we might find a group of people working together to move a heavy object, play a symphony, choose a business strategy, or write a joint paper. CPS has been studied by researchers from a variety of areas such as distributed A. I., soft computing, economics, philosophy, organization science, and the social and natural sciences among others.
