Experimental Social Psychology

Experimental Social Psychology is a branch of psychology that studies how people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others. Researchers use controlled experiments to explore issues like conformity, prejudice, communication, and social influence. By manipulating specific variables in a controlled setting, they observe how individuals respond, helping to uncover the underlying principles guiding social interactions. This approach provides insights into human social behavior, aiding in understanding societal dynamics and addressing social issues through evidence-based findings.
