The interactionist perspective is focused on how individuals interact with each other and the meanings they attach to those interactions. The bestowal of status in social movements would be a product of these interactions and the meanings that individuals attach to the new roles created through the movement. The functionalist and conflict perspectives tend to focus on larger social structures and may not be as concerned with the interactions of individuals in social movements. The epidemiological perspective is focused on health and disease patterns in populations and would not be relevant to the study of social movements.
