As social psychologists, we try to understand and describe how a person's thoughts, feelings, and behavior are influenced by other people (real or imagined), who constitute the person's social environment. We test our theories with empirical methods, most of them experiments.
One classic topic in social psychology is social judgement, how a person construes the social environment, how he or she feels and thinks, how he or she perceives the self and others (information processing, heuristics, social perception, attitudes, social identity). Another topic is social interaction, that is social influence, group processes, prejudice, and aggressive and prosocial behavior.
Social Psychology is tested as part of the Bachelor program in Psychology and as part of several other related disciplines.
In our research, we focus on how implicit processes influence social judgments and self-regulation, especially in the context of organizations. |
