PSY 400 Week 1 Discussion Question 2 FOR MORE
CLASSES VISIT www.psy400edu.com   We are all
social animals. We all realize that much of what
we do stems from our interactions with other
people, but we often fail to appreciate the power
of these interactions over our behavior and
thought. If you consider it, you will be hard put
to find anything you do or think that is
completely independent of your social
relationships. What about your values, or your
ideas of what is right and wrong? What about your
preferences or your daily decisions? The list
could go on and on. Social psychology is the
study of human interaction and the way it affects
behavior. To put it more formally, social
psychology is the scientific study of the many
ways in which interactions, interdependence, and
influence among persons affect the individuals
behavior and thought.
