reviewing the information contained in the web site. Based on what
you learned, what do you feel are the biggest issues in the field of social
psychology?http://www.socialpsychology.org/
**************************************************

We are all social animals. We all realize that much of what we do stems
from our interactions with other people, but we often fail to appreciate
the power of these interactions over our behavior and thought. If you
consider it, you will be hard put to find anything you do or think that is
completely independent of your social relationships. What about your
values, or your ideas of what is right and wrong? What about your
preferences or your daily decisions? The list could go on and on. Social
psychology is the study of human interaction and the way it affects
behavior. To put it more formally, social psychology is the scientific
study of the many ways in which interactions, interdependence, and
influence among persons affect the individual’s behavior and thought.
Dr. John Schopler (1930-2001)
Consider the above quote. Then, consider the concepts that we
have covered this Week regarding social influence and the effects of
socialization on the development of one's self and self-concept. Choose
