Social phenomena/social phenomenon (singular) are any behaviours, "actions," or events that takes place. Because of social influence, including from contemporary as well as historical societal influences. They are often a result of multifaceted processes that add ever increasing dimensions as they operate through individual nodes of people. Because of this, "social phenomenon are inherently dynamic." And operate within a specific time and "historical context."
Social phenomena are observable, measurable data. Psychological notions may drive them. But those notions are not directly observable; only the: phenomena that express them.
