Social psychology

The scope of social psychological research. Adapted from Cote and Levine (2002).[1]

Social psychology studies how people and groups interact. Social psychologists might analyze an individual, a group, or both.[2]

Psychologists and sociologists who research social psychology tend to differ in their goals, approaches, methods, and terminology. They also favor separate academic journals and professional groups.

Sociologists and psychologists collaborated best right after World War II.[3] In recent years, these two disciplines have become more specialized, but they still have some similarities.[4]
