The fact is that our social behavior arises from our social cognition. Especially when the unexpected occurs, we, as a human, want to understand and explain why people act as they do. Social psychology’s great lesson is the enormous power of social influence. This influence can be seen in our conformity, our obedience to authority, and our group behavior.

If you have ever wondered:

How Much of Our Social World Is Just in Our Heads?  

Would People Be Cruel If Ordered?  

To Help? Or to Help Oneself?  

A common thread runs through these questions: They all deal with how people view and affect one another. And that is what social psychology is all about. Social psychologists study attitudes and beliefs, conformity and independence, love and hate.

The course is made of 13 carefully graded sections, where every section includes several lectures related to the specific topic. Of course, we start with the mother of Social Psychology and have some general info about Psychology itself, then we go to the center and start with Social Psychology. We cover two main parts of Social Psychology – Social Thinking and Social Influence.  

Social thinking covers topics where we learn more about ourselves, who are we in social worlds, how our self-esteem affect it, and how we perceive others. And later we have Social influence and topics which talk about how persuasion affect our personality, how we act if we are given power in certain fields, and are we capable of killing someone if it’s ordered to us?
