| Course Description | Social psychology focuses on the results of individuals' thoughts, inner worlds, basic behavior patterns, and encounters with other individuals and social structures. In other words, psychology tries to understand/explain the world of the individual, sociology tries to understand/explain the world of society, while social psychology endeavors to explain different meanings in different contexts of the encounter between society and the individual, and what kind of psychological and sociological situations the individual's effort to exist in society leads to. It deals with the harmony and incompatibility of the individual in the society, the situations of adaptation to the society or conflict with it, through the titles such as help, social harmony, social incompatibility, prejudice, anger/attack, social interaction, and obedience. |
