Social Psychology examines the effects of our environment and other people on our behaviour.
Social Psychologists examine the interaction between individuals (Agency Theory), the effects of belonging to a group (Social Identity Theory) , the effects of the social situation on group behaviour (Realistic Conflict Theory) and the impact of social roles on individuals and groups (Hofling's Study).
According to Social Psychology, our behaviour is caused by other people and situations that we find ourselves in.
