Abstract

social psychology is an interdisciplinary area of study on how social conditions affect human beings. The focus from the psychological perspective is explaining the influence of interaction (whether actual, imagined or implied) with others on an individual's thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It tackled the intrapersonal phenomena of attitudes, persuasion, social cognition, self-concept and cognitive dissonance and interpersonal phenomena such as social influence, group dynamics, relations with others and interpersonal attraction (Allport, 1985). The emphasis from the sociological view is the behavior of groups with respect to micro-level interactions and exchanges and macro-level group dynamics and crowds. It has three known schools of thought: symbolic interactionism, social cognition and social exchange (House, 1977).
