handling / interaction
'der Umgang' and 'das Sozialverhalten' both have to do with how people act toward other people. 'der Umgang' is more general and more suitable for everyday use. People talk about 'Umgang mit Kindern' (dealing with children), colleagues, customers, or even problems. 'das Sozialverhalten' describes more the overall behavior of a person in a group, for example at school, with animals, or in psychology. Learners may confuse the words because both relate to social contact. In everyday language, 'Umgang' often sounds more natural; 'Sozialverhalten' sounds more precise when you want to observe or evaluate behavior.
