|
|
1. An actor-subject: the actor whose
orientation of action is being analyzed. (In an
interaction situation, this actor is called ego." |
2. Objects: those objects to which the
actor-subject is oriented. These are
(i) social objects and (ii) nonsocial objects. |
|
|
|
The actor-subject is
sometimes called simply the "actor" and is always an "action system." Thus the actor-subject is either: |
i. Social objectsare actors (i.e., action
systems) but here they are objects rather than subjects in a given analysis.
(In an interaction situation, these actors are called "alters.") Social objects are: |
|
|
|
a. A personality. |
|
a. Personalities. |
|
|
b. A social system. |
|
b. Social systems. |
|
|
|
ii. Nonsocial objects may be: |
|
|
|
a. Physical objects |
|
|
b. Cultural oblects (i.e., svmbols or svmbol
systems). |
|
|
|
|
Personalities and Social
systems fit together in the following fashion whether they are subjects or
objects. |

Cultural Systems |
|
|
|
Cultural systems are the
common values, beliefs, and tastes of the actors (as either subjects or
objects) |
|
|
interacting with symbol
systems (as objects). Thus the
underlined components above show the abstraction of cultural Systems from the
action frame of reference. |
|
|
|
|
|
* Each of these roles is
a subsystem of orientations . This subsystem can be analyzed with respect to
either (i) the personality's motives, of which the orientations are 'a
function, or (ii) the values which the personality respects in this specific
social System. Thus roles are divided
into motivational aspects and value aspects. |
