What to Focus On

  • Social psychology studies the effect of others and the social environment on behaviour.
  • Social behaviour includes behaviour in actual, imagined, or implied presence of others.
  • Attitudes are important because they guide thinking, feeling, and action.
  • Cognitive, affective, and behavioural components together make up attitude.
  • Attitudes are tendencies to act, not the same as behaviour.
  • Beliefs are different from attitudes; values are different too.
  • Attitudes are learned through interaction and experience.
  • Genetic factors influence attitudes only indirectly.
  • Learning happens through association, reward and punishment, modelling, norms, and information.
