	Social psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social Psychology is usually considered a subfield of either psychology or sociology, though there are differences depending on which discipline we are referring to.
		One underlying problem for the social psychologists is whether or not their studies can or should ultimately be understood in terms of the meaning and consciousness behind social action, as with folk psychology, or whether or not more objective materialist and behavioral facts are to be given exclusive study.
		The goal of social psychology is to understand naturally occurring cognition and behavior in a social context, but the very act of observing people in social contexts tends to influence and alter their behavior.

	Seeking Social Grounds for Social Psychology
		Mainstream social psychology, has been, and continues to be, firmly committed to the metaphysics and methods of traditional experimental psychology, which, as it evolved in the present age, has attempted to borrow methods and metaphysical assumptions from the natural sciences (cf., Danziger, 1990).
		It would be a social psychology that would seek to articulate the fundamentally ethical character of our relations and social exchanges with one another, opening a discourse within which the parameters of ethical life would emerge as the primary subject matter.
		A social psychology thus grounded would not begin with the thesis that individuality must be overcome in order to establish intimacy, but that the false consciousness of individualism must be overcome so that intimacy may reveal itself.

	Social-Personality Psychology : Program Overview
		The program provides strong preparation in the theoretical foundations of social and personality psychology, and it couples this training with an emphasis on the application of psychology to social issues and policy.
		The goal of the program is to prepare social and personality psychologists who will contribute to the development of psychology and whose research will aid our understanding of human behavior and the solution of social problems.
		Our philosophy is that broad preparation in psychology and social science methodology is essential to Ph.D. training, because the problems that social and personality psychologists will study in the coming decades will differ from those currently researched.
