This paper attempts to present a perspective through which the process of interaction is seen as a process of social control. For this purpose G. H. Mead's theorization of interaction is investigated, and the arousal of the self and its conduct are described as “others-dependent” in the process of interaction. Then the conception of the taking the attitude/role of the generalized other by the self, used by head to explain those “others-dependent-ness”, is pointed out as a capacity of the self that is a necessary presupposition for the mechanism of social control. Further studies in the mechanism of social control and the presupposition of this capacity in the process of interaction is suggested.
