An introduction to social psychology

Within the realm of psychology, social psychology is concerned with how the behaviour and thoughts of an individual are influenced by the social contexts that they are in, i.e. other people and groups around them. This course explores a number of differing contexts (small groups and crowds) and examines whether anything that humans do is free of 'the social'.
