The dialogue and interaction between "subject" and "object" forms a unified social self. This interactive process reveals a long-term socialization process. The so-called socialization process is also the process of dialogue and interaction between "subject" and "object".

Interpersonal communication is a social process in which "subject" and "object" interact in two directions, and the medium of interaction is the so-called "meaning symbol".
