Social psychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on how individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the presence and actions of others. It explores topics such as social influence, prejudice, conformity, group dynamics, and interpersonal relationships. Social psychologists study the ways in which people perceive and interact with others, as well as the factors that shape their attitudes and behaviors in social situations. The research in this area aims to better understand human behavior in social contexts and provide insights into how individuals can improve their interactions with others.
