The profession of the sociologist is sociology.
Sociology is built on Latin socius, companion, plus logos, science, study. Socius is the source of such common words as associate, social, socialize, society, sociable, and antisocial; as well as asocial, which combines the negative prefix a- with socius.
The antisocial person actively dislikes people, and often behaves in ways that are detrimental or destructive to society or the social order (anti-, against).
On the other hand, someone who is asocial is withdrawn and self-centred, avoids contact with others, and feels completely indifferent to the interests or welfare of society. The asocial person doesn’t want to ‘get involved’.
