Social Psychology: A Comprehensive Approach Joseph Keller

The scientific study of how feelings, thoughts, and behavior of people are influenced by the actual, implied or imagined presence of others is known as social psychology. It states that humans are malleable to social influences even when they are alone. It deals with the explanation of human behavior as a result of interaction of social situations and mental states. Social psychology primarily deals with the conditions under which feelings, beliefs, intentions, thoughts and goals are cognitively constructed and how these mental representations affect people's interaction with each other. A few of the important areas in social psychology include attribution, self-concept and social cognition.
