The Impact on Social Psychology on Society

The need for social psychology is thought to arise from large conflicts such as war, famine and other disasters. "According to F. B. Karpf, the first historian in this field, the answer is" Yes: social unrest surrounding civil war encouraged the development of this field "(Morawski, 2000, page 427). Responding primarily to the historical events that occurred at the time, social psychology theory was developed to explain these events with concrete and available data.

This course is designed to gain insight into key principles and findings of social psychology. Social psychology has four major problems.
