Context:
Con molta raffinatezza, M. propone una sorta di teoria sociologica del gruppo di riferimento, quando individua le motivazioni all'_____agire sociale_____ nel "desiderio di acquistare l'approvazione altrui e di evitare il disprezzo di coloro in mezzo a cui si vive"; in particolare, gli uomini sono "molto sensibili all'approvazione o alla disapprovazione di quelli che hanno la loro stessa occupazione".
Could it be social living? Social action? (Action tastes of activism, which isn't what M. is talking about here.)

social action
very timidly, not having time to complete the research; this may refer to the Max Weber's idea of social action as the cornerstone of sociology:
Weber, it is often said, conceived of sociology as a comprehensive science of social action. His initial theoretical focus is on the subjective meaning that humans attach to their actions in their interactions with one another within specific social contexts. In this connection, Weber distinguishes between four major types of social action...
Social action is also in the title of a book by eminent sociologist Talcott Parsons
The Structure of Social Action.

Weber did not intend social action as tinged of activism.
