www.psy400tutors.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
6. 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 individualâs behavior and thought.
Dr. John Schopler (1930-2001)
Consider the above quote. Then, consider the concepts that we
have covered this week regarding social influence and the effects of
socialization on the development of one's self and self-concept.
Choose two concepts; explain them and illustrate how they have
