==Links to other theories==
{{empty section|date=December 2013}}Interactionism, or the idea that individuals have more awareness, skill and power to change their own situation, links to several other theories.

* [[Neo-Marxism]] is a loose term for various 20th-century approaches that amend or extend [[Marxism]] and [[Marxist theory]], usually by incorporating elements from other intellectual traditions, such as [[critical theory]], [[psychoanalysis]], or [[existentialism]].
* [[Pluralism (political theory)|Pluralism]] is the idea that the "public gets what the public wants." It is the notion that our lives offer choice like a [[representative democracy]]. This idea of [[Choice#Choice and evaluability in economics|consumer choice]] means that each individual has power as a consumer to change any aspect of life if he/she wishes to do so. The situation that exists is, according to the theory, a reflection of the norms, values and beliefs of the majority of people. It fits with the idea of individual power, although interactionist sociologists may not accept the idea that we are all labeled as "consumers".
