Social psychology

Social psychology is the branch of psychology that studies how people think, feel, and behave in the presence of others. It examines how social interactions, group dynamics, and cultural influences shape individual behavior and attitudes. Topics in social psychology include perception, conformity, prejudice, leadership, and interpersonal relationships. The field also explores how people are influenced by social norms and how they influence others in return. Understanding social psychology helps explain everyday behaviors and improves communication and relationships in society.
