Concept of Social Behaviour:

Behavior refers to the incidents that take place in a person's daily life and the activities that a person performs and interacts with a group of people and with whom they interact. The conduct includes:

 

A- External behavior: we can observe it objectively and it manifests itself in the form of verbal or non-verbal expressions, and there are differences in some non-verbal expressions, especially signs, according to what is prevalent in the culture of the peoples, and an example of this is the method of peace and greeting that differs from one society to another.

 

B- Internal behavior: It is any mental process that the individual follows, such as thinking, remembering, realizing, imagining and others, we cannot observe it directly, but we infer its occurrence by observing its results.

 

And according to the behavior of the individual, if it is an external behavior, or the result of mental processes, if it is an internal behavior, which is emitted by the individual, when do we say that it is a social behavior?

 

 To answer this question we must agree that each society has its own traditions, and I know, even its religion, we can say that this is social behavior and that it is antisocial behavior as prevalent and recognized.

 

Social behavior in our society requires respect for regulations and laws and a commitment to religion, morals and social values ​​derived from The Arab-Islamic heritage can be identified as a person who exhibits social behavior if it is characterized by an attitude positive and optimistic. characterized by scientific thinking and a strong and cooperative personality with a preference for group interest over personal interest.

 

He works with benevolence, preserves public property and the property of others, and has honor and generosity, prescribing good and prohibiting evil and all the qualities that characterize a believer.

 

Elements of social behavior:

                                         

Social behavior includes a set of elements that can be challenged by the following:

 

  • First, the character:

 

The responses of individuals to different situations are not just isolated conditional reflective actions as previously imagined, but knowing the personal characteristics of the individual and the nature of the situation they are facing leads to different behaviors as a result of what the situation imposes


one of the individuals can respond consistently of intelligence, lethargy or nervous tension, but the personality of the individual is determined as a result of social interaction with others and existing human relationships are in a specific pattern, these relationships project a shadow over the human personality.

 

And since the personality of the individual is described as an indication of the temperament and behavior of the individual and the type of social organization in which he lives.

 

From the above it follows that the recurring question that says to what extent do biological and cultural factors affect the personality of the individual?

 

 Perhaps the answer is that our perception, feelings and behavior are clearly affected by education and living conditions, to the point that some writers doubted that heredity had an effect on the growth of an individual's personality. Some of them even went so far as to deny the existence of this effect at all.

 

 Rather, there are those who took the matter seriously, and considered that the existence of differences in psychological characteristics, something incompatible with democratic ideals can be inherited.

 

The personality of the individual is a cultural product that results from the interaction of its biological factors with its social environment and its cultural components.

 

 An integrated culture produces an integrated personality, and the personality of a normal individual is a personality that can be adapted to the culture in. Therefore, a normal personality has a degree of consistency with the patterns of the community and its standards.

 

Despite differing views on whether personality is a product of environment or inheritance, the strongest possibility remains that both environment and inheritance have clear contributions to the construction of personality.

 Therefore, we can infer that the personality of the individual is nothing more than the product. both heredity and the environment.

 

The normal personality differs from one culture to another due to the different patterns of behavior, centers, and roles that each culture presents to the individuals who live in it.

Thus, the normal level and the deviant level of behavior between one culture and another or even within it. the same culture is determined.

 

 It differs from time to time and the social individual is the one who maintains a relationship A permanent document with others, using means of communication with verbal and non-verbal expressions.

 

What facilitates and deepens this communication is the use of symbols with meaning, that is, the language of the culture in which you live, and that have no meaning except for the group that uses them.

 

  • Second: motives and needs:

 

The issue of motives or forces that drive social behavior is a general issue, because the reality of behavior is determined, of course, by its trajectories Behavior is the product of a process in which vital factors and social influences interact.

The vital factors come from within the individual, while social influences are those that confront the individual from the actions of the individuals with whom the individual deals, which activates their motivation because there is no behavior without a real motive that cannot be ignored .

 

Motivations are an expression of the individual's needs, and these motivations are personal and internal to the individual, since they are perceived in their environment as auxiliary factors for the achievement of certain goals, and social behavior is affected by human needs that can convert the individual in a social situation.

 

state of tension, which through their culture and experiences transform needs into desires within the framework of cultural and social concepts and explain these desires In terms of being stimuli that lead to certain types of response or action, the role of physiological needs or primary in Social behavior lies in accustoming the individual to desirable habits in society Secondary needs develop according to the mental maturity of the individual.

Examples of these secondary needs are competence, self-fulfillment, belonging, love, and appreciation.

 

The needs direct the behavior of the individual to satisfy them, and many of the personality characteristics depend on them, they arise from the needs of the individual and the methods to satisfy them, adding the capacity of the individual to help him reach the best level for him.

 

Secondary needs can be satisfied in the desired direction. The need for affiliation, for example, can be met through interaction in a cohesive group. Therefore, on the other hand, people tend to formulate new goals instead of themselves when they can achieve a specific goal. goal.

 

The individual lives in a state of imbalance between himself and his environment, and this prompts him to try to restore balance by all available means.

 

 If the environment lacks the possibilities and ingredients to help restore balance, it suffers from frustration and it is called behavioral deviation, and this does not mean that normal individuals find themselves between themselves and the environment with which they interact. it does not exist for him, but they are states of equilibrium, imbalance, and then equilibrium again. , Of course, this is how his life continues.

 

  • Third: Positive interactive behavior:

 

Each person has a special style of interaction, and from this he aspires to the desired responses of people, and this he does in his own way.

 

Examples of interactive behavior are the speed of dialogue with others, and with this dialogue he learns that he has various behavior patterns and tendencies, and can organize his relationships with those with whom he negotiates within a framework of common values, culture and social traditions. 

 

Man, by his nature, needs to live in a group with whom he collaborates in preparing livelihoods and livelihoods, and can learn from them and at the same time you can learn from him. He needs socialization, conviviality. , fellowship and neighborhood. No matter how high his level of knowledge or intelligence is, he still needs others.

 

One of the indicators of the advancement of nations is the degree to which they are characterized by social behavior.

 

To the extent that the children of a nation perform, there is no desirable behavior that gives that nation character.

  

The interactive behavior of the individual is not limited to a specific place, the individual interacts with members of his family and community, sharing his joys and sorrows, and this type of interaction occurs at school with students and with those who teach him, and Interactive behavior can occur in multiple places.


such as places of worship, as religion influences It is important that in people's hearts and places of worship are important institutions that contribute to the individual's upbringing, interaction and configuration of his behavior, especially the Friday sermon.

 

If you depart from the preaching of the sultans and adopt a prophetic approach, its effects will be strong to impart and strengthen the spirit of Islamic brotherhood and instill in it the love of good and avoid evil and the development of democratic tendencies and habits. Sound, social, moral and cooperative.

 

And places of worship also play a role that is no less important than the role of school and friends, as it provides the individual with a normative framework of behavior and develops their conscience and group spirit.

 

It stems from the fact that the mosque has an educational message that must continue and be addressed to all humanity and is not limited to a narrow specific group and instills virtuous religious values ​​for individuals.

 

The society and through the interactive behavior achieved by the mosque, the high teachings can be translated into practical behavior and the spirit of brotherhood will prevail.

 

 This becomes evident when a believer is absent from Friday or congregation prayers for a long time, those who are with him will miss him, and the question begins about the reason for that absence and this question.

 

Today, as a result of scientific developments in communication devices, communication can be achieved remotely, but communication with others through direct encounter is still more effective in achieving positive interactive behavior, despite the ease of communication and its low cost today.

 

It remains a means of social interaction through advanced communication (Internet, mobile phone) if used correctly it cannot be underestimated as a means of achieving positive interaction behavior.
