, SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY

● Social psychology examines the effects of our environment on
our behaviour and how our actions are influenced by
individuals, groups and culture.
● There is less emphasis on other psychological determinants of
behaviour, such as cognition and biology.
● Our thoughts and feelings are strongly influenced by the social
setting in which we find ourselves and we will behave in ways
we perceive it as being consistent with the social setting.
● Social psychologists tend to use surveys and field experiments
when investigating the impact of the environment on our
behaviour.
● These are carried out in real-life settings and can be universally
applied when studying individuals, groups and culture.
● Why people obey and what causes prejudice are just two of
the issues social psychology deals with in order to help
understand individual and group behaviour.
