Mental Health, Gun Control and the Homeless

This volume contains an Open Access chapter.This edited collection showcases the usefulness of symbolic interactionism in examining concurrent social issues which demand researchers’ attention - symbolic interactionists demonstrate their roots in pragmatism by examining contemporary social issues, mental health, gun control and the homeless. Although these issues have been around for quite some time, recent changes in social, political, and economic landscapes have escalated the significance of these issues in everyday life.While these issues have traditionally been examined using a quantitatively “big data” approach, authors here illustrate the usefulness of utilizing the symbolic interactionist methodology, an empirical endeavor that keys on micro interactional developments, in providing understandings of these social issues. Theoretically, chapters showcase the utility of symbolic interactionism, a perspective for investigating the meanings of objects, social relationships, and how objects become linked to social structures, in providing significant contributions to the advancement of knowledge of these social issues. Stressing the importance of examining mental health, gun control and the homeless as social constructs that involve social relationships and communication processes of actors in various structures, the authors utilize theoretical concepts such as reflexivity, interaction, and willfulness as pivot points in analyzing these social issues.Calling for researchers’ attention to study urgent social issues by demonstrating the effectiveness of symbolic interactionism as a research tool both theoretically and methodologically, this is appealing reading for both emerging and established interactionist scholars.

Over the course of more than 70 years, students of symbolic interactionism have demonstrated how a resourceful and conceptually rich perspective can generate variegated lines of research. However, many have expressed concerns over the sheer wealth and quantity of "lines of research" and the promotion of a "chaos" that lacks a cohesive focus on the fundamental issues, processes, and concepts that define the essence of symbolic interactionism.Answering David Maines’ call for a forum to define and describe different lines of research, Volume 59 of Studies in Symbolic Interaction allows symbolic interactionists to demonstrate how and why their respective lines of research contribute to the quality and substance of symbolic interactionism. Examining key issues across their respective specializations, authors analyze their importance, historical development, and relevance to this field.Seeking a concise and substantial vision of symbolic interactionism, Essential Issues in Symbolic Interaction manifests the crucial research endeavors and key elements that contribute to the vitality of the interactionist theoretical framework.

Over the course of more than seventy years, symbolic interactionism as a resourceful and conceptually rich perspective has generated variegated lines of research.In Essential Methods in Symbolic Interaction, symbolic interactionists who adopt different methods in their research articulate the methodological issues critical to their research. Methods discussed include Grounded Theory method, qualitative laboratory method, qualitative media analysis, music research, as well as the use of statistical methods in symbolic interaction research. Volume 60 of Studies in Symbolic Interaction is a forum for symbolic interactionists to "duke it out" regarding the equally critical methodological issues to symbolic interactionist research.Essential Methods in Symbolic Interaction is not only important to clarify the definition of symbolic interactionist research and, by extension, to clear up the ambiguity associated with doing such research but is also crucial to help symbolic interactionists navigate their research activities as they move into new frontiers such as, for instance, providing an interactionist strategy to conduct research in the digital age.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), an umbrella term that includes any device capable of emulating or even exceeding human capabilities, emerged as computer technologies became more sophisticated and complex. Recent rapid developments in AI have utilized the pattern-matching capacity to create words, images, and sounds, often referred to as Generative AI. In 2022, Open-AI unveiled ChatGPT, a computer program designed to simulate conversation with users. After receiving input from users, ChatGPT displayed the capacity to provide lifelike answers, that appeared filled with human insight.Given the rapid advancement of AI in transforming social life, authors in this volume explore the implications of the emergent interaction between humans and AI technologies. They each provide a fine-grain view of the social forms associated with the use of AI technologies, using symbolic interactionist concepts such as identity, reflexivity, the self, the generalized other, time, place, and more as pivots of analysis.Symbolic Interaction and AI demonstrates the utilities of symbolic interactionist theorizing in understanding the consequences of AI use in social life, as well as how the research of AI technologies could enhance the development of symbolic interactionist theories.
