social interactive behavior
Explanation:
Or, literally, "social face-to-face behavior," but I can only find that word on Japanese pages.

social interaction(s)


Explanation:
'Social interaction(s)' would seem to be the most readily understandable term and is also a recognized term in sociology.
See the reference below, particularly the sentence beginning 私たちが社会的相互行為の典型として思い浮かべるもの、例えば、挨拶、談笑、口論、喧嘩、セックス、恐喝、等々 which would all count as 'social interactions'
