Social Psychology英文简介：

Social psychology is the scientific study of how people's thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by the actual, imagined or implied presence of others.[1] In this definition, scientific refers to the empirical investigation using the scientific method. The terms thoughts, feelings and behavior refer to psychological variables that can be measured in humans. The statement that others' presence may be imagined or implied suggests that humans are malleable to social influences even when alone, such as when watching television or following internalized cultural norms. Social psychologists typically explain human behavior as a result of the interaction of mental states and social situations.Social psychologists examine factors that cause behaviors to unfold in a given way in the presence of others. They study conditions under which certain behavior, actions, and feelings occur. Social psychology is concerned with the way these feelings, thoughts, beliefs, intentions, and goals are cognitively constructed and how these mental representations, in turn, influence our interactions with others.Social psychology traditionally bridged the gap between psychology and sociology. During the years immediately following World War II there was frequent collaboration between psychologists and sociologists.[2] The two disciplines, however, have become increasingly specialized and isolated from each other in recent years, with sociologists focusing on "macro variables" (e.g., social structure) to a much greater extent than psychologists.[citation needed] Nevertheless, sociological approaches to psychology remain an important counterpart to psychological research in this area.In addition to the split between psychology and sociology, there has been a somewhat less pronounced difference in emphasis between American social psychologists and European social psychologists. As a generalization, American researchers traditionally have focused more on the individual, whereas Europeans have paid more attention to group level phenomena (see group dynamics)

Social Psychology中文简介：

社会心理学是一门科学，研究人们的思想、情感和行为如何受到他人的实际存在、想象或暗示的影响。在这个定义中，科学是指运用科学的方法进行实证调查。思想、情感和行为是指可以在人类身上测量的心理变量。“他人的存在可能是想象出来的，也可能是暗示出来的”这一说法表明，即使是独自一人，比如看电视或遵循内在的文化规范时，人类也能受到社会影响。社会心理学家通常将人类行为解释为心理状态和社会情境相互作用的结果。社会心理学家研究导致行为在他人面前以特定方式展开的因素。他们研究特定的行为、行为和情感发生的条件。社会心理学关注的是这些感觉、想法、信念、意图和目标如何被认知地构建，以及这些心理表征如何反过来影响我们与他人的互动。社会心理学传统上是心理学与社会学之间的桥梁。在第二次世界大战之后的几年里，心理学家和社会学家之间经常进行合作。然而，近年来，这两门学科越来越专业化，彼此孤立，社会学家在很大程度上比心理学家更关注“宏观变量”(如社会结构)。尽管如此，心理学的社会学方法仍然是这一领域心理学研究的重要对应物。除了心理学和社会学的分歧，美国社会心理学家和欧洲社会心理学家在研究重点上的差异也不那么明显。总的来说，美国的研究人员传统上更关注个人，而欧洲的研究人员则更关注群体层面的现象。
