“Learn Social Psychology Concepts & Theories” course is a set of videos designed to help you develop a framework for understanding the concepts, phenomena, and theories of social psychology. It is important to understand how social psychology differs from other disciplines. Social psychology is often confused with folk wisdom, personality psychology, and sociology. What makes social psychology different? Unlike folk wisdom, which relies on anecdotal observations and subjective interpretation, social psychology employs scientific methods and the empirical study of social phenomena. Researchers do not just make guesses or assumptions about how people behave; they devise and carry out experiments that help point out relationships between different variables.

Psychology is an academic and applied science involving the scientific study of mental functions and behaviour of human beings. It is the study of human emotions, personality and human relationships. This knowledge is applied to various spheres of human activities, including issues related to everyday life (e.g. family, education, and employment) and the treatment of mental health problems. Psychology related subspecialties include areas as human development, sports, health, industry, media, and law. A psychologist treats by changing the behavioural patterns of the patients without medication through counseling, and help people by bringing about changes in their thought processes, thus improving their quality of life.
