strategic interaction

interaction occurring in situations where one party's gain is the other party's loss, and thus the winning is defined by the losing and vice versa. Decision making in strategic situations may be quite complex, involving not only assessment of the other's knowledge state but also what the other party knows of the first party's knowledge state and likely strategy. GOFFMAN (1969) suggests that strategic interaction is a more commonplace feature of everyday life than is often acknowledged. The concept of social interaction may be effectively described in terms of strategies adopted by parties to the interaction, individual or collective. It avoids the view that interaction is the straightforward outcome of laws, or of rules, both of which tend to miss the openness of interaction. It also avoids the view that interaction is entirely a local accomplishment, and that any characterization of it in general terms is an arbitrary closure. If members can adopt and adapt goals and outline paths to those goals, without being bound to them, or if others can in turn recognize these, and similarly adopt and adapt existing strategies, then the sociologist can do simultaneous justice to choice, creativity and freedom, and, on the other hand, also to cultural patterning. Some of these patterns are obvious-but-unrecognized, but may be rendered strikingly explicit, as in the work of Goffman. They may also be formalized, as in the application of the THEORY OF GAMES.
