Social Psychology: A Definition

Social psychology is the study of visible (human) behaviour.

Part of its purpose is to draw educated conclusions regarding people's personal lives. The execution of which involves perception of emotions, beliefs, and attitudes. The danger in this lies in the accuracy of our perceptions: we must remember that humans have their own individualistic definition of reality -- this will be discussed in a later entry.

Social psychology is a generic phrase that includes a wide range of fields. Some of which include the studies of aggression, impressions, shifts in attitude, human relationships, and communication. Naturally, this blog cannot extensively cover all aspects in acute detail.
