Question: 1 / 50

What is the focus of microsociology?

Large groups

Trends and patterns in society

The behavior of individuals

Microsociology is a branch of sociology that focuses on the study of small-scale, individual or face-to-face interactions between people. This can include things like conversations, relationships, and group dynamics. It seeks to understand how these interactions shape and influence larger social structures and patterns, but its main focus is on the behavior of individuals in these interactions. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect because they all focus on larger groups, overall trends, or societal changes, rather than the behavior of individuals.
