Document Summary

It is a science that studies the influence of our situations, with special attention to how we view and affect one another: how people think about, influence, and relate to one another. Social thinking: how we perceive ourselves and others, what we believe, judgments we make, our attitudes. Social influecne: culture and biology, pressures to conform, persuasion, groups of people. Social relations: helping, aggression, attraction and intimacy, prejudice. How much of our social world is just in our heads. Social behaviour varies not just with the objective situation, but how we construe it. Summing up: social psychology is an environmental science; revels how social environment influences behaviour. Social thinking: we construct our social reality. We have a urge to explain behaviour, to attribute it to come cause, and therefore, to make it seem orderly, predictable and controllable. When someones behaviour is consistent we attribute it to their personality: our social intuitions are often powerful but sometimes perilous.
