  Social psychology isabout understanding individual behavior in a social context. Baron, Byrne & Suls define social psychology as ... “the scientific field that seeks to understand the nature and causes of individual behavior in social situations”. It therefore looks at human behavior as influenced by other people and the social context in which this occurs. Social psychologists therefore deal with the factors that lead us to behave in a given way in the presence of others, and look at the conditions under which certain behavior/actions and feelings occur. Social psychology is to do with the way these feelings, thoughts, beliefs, intentions and goals are constructed and how such psychological factors, in turn, influence our interactions with others.

  SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY •It is the scientific study of how people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others. All of these variables are the ones we use to measure a human being. • What is it that shapes our attitudes? Why are some people such great leaders? How does prejudice develop and how can we overcome it?

  Feelings: while theanimals just act or react with impulses, the humans use feelings to express emotions. The feelings transform the personality , the character and how a person see the world. Thoughts: Thought can refer to the ideas or arrangements of ideas that result from thinking, the act of producing thoughts, or the process of producing thoughts. Although thought is a fundamental human activity familiar to everyone, there is no generally accepted agreement as to what thought is or how it is created. Thoughts are the result or product of spontaneous acts of thinking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkMYkXLlad0 Behavior: Human behavior is believed to be influenced by the endocrine system and the nervous system. It is most commonly believed that complexity in the behavior of an organism is correlated to the complexity of its nervous system. Generally, organisms with more complex nervous systems have a greater capacity to learn new responses and thus adjust their behavior.

  SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY AND SOCIAL NETWORKS. The advent of the Internet has changed the way individuals and groups of individuals interact with one another and the world. In fact, an entire generation has been brought up with the idea that “socializing” includes an online component. Yet despite the recent technological advances in social communication, and the fact that social bonding is a crucial psychological aspect of being human, there are certain individuals for whom social interactions are difficult, leading to real-life anxiety.

  Social media ofall kinds has become such an important part of our society that looking at it in a negative way will only set us back. We as a society must push forward and continue to incorporate social media in more positive ways. • In March 2013, Facebook reported having 1.11 billion active users, Instagram reported having 100 million users, and Twitter had 200 million active users. These numbers have experienced immense growth even in the past year alone. This just proves the fact that social networking is a rapidly changing field, and even if we solve the question of how current social media affects interaction, more questions will continue to arise as these sites continue to change. So now the question remains: Is our society really ready to harness these new social media technologies to our advantage? Will we be able to handle it and maintain face-to-face interaction as our main source of communication?
