What is Socio Phychology?

            
 So what is socio psychology and how does it differ and break down the barriers of  Psychology?

Psychology is the scientific study of certain individuals and the functioning of the human mind, in which can affect ones overall behaviour in a given situation or context. This is in contrast to Socio Psychology which is focused around individuals involved in group activity and the social interactions with those around them. Thus, it is through the interaction of others , that effects one’s self. For example, commercials can change our attitudes and opinions , persuading us to a particular product or idea. By studying how people act in certain situations, we can better understand how stereotypes are formed and how a person can seem like an entirely different person in different situations,  how people react in terms of conflict and even how people fall in love.
