Social Psychology

Social psychology is the scientific study of how individuals think, feel, and behave in social contexts. It examines the influence of social interactions, group dynamics, social norms, and cultural factors on individual behavior and attitudes. Social psychologists explore various topics, including conformity, aggression, prejudice, interpersonal relationships, and group behavior, to understand how social influences shape human psychology. This field combines elements of psychology and sociology, employing both qualitative and quantitative research methods to analyze the complexities of social behavior. Overall, social psychology seeks to understand the interplay between the individual and the social environment.
