Social Psychology

Understanding “humans” as social animals

Research Topics
■ Empirical research on interpersonal relationships, social behavior, and group processes

　Social psychology is the field that studies how people's behaviors and emotions are influenced by others and the social environment. It focuses not only on the individual's inner workings but also on how people interact with each other and function within society.
　Students use various methods such as experiments, surveys, and observations to explore solutions to real-world problems. By deepening their understanding of research topics, they develop not only specialized knowledge but also critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
　In the field of social psychology, the aim is not only to learn theories but also to apply them to the real world, contributing to the improvement of people's lives and society as a whole. We hope students will experience how this field expands and how their research can impact society.
