The idea
Social psychology studies how the presence, behavior, and expectations of others influence a person's thoughts and actions.
In practice
The same person answers a question differently alone and in a group that has already answered.
Where people slip
Social psychology studies ordinary people in situations, not unusual people. That is its central finding.
