Social Psychology is one of the important areas of Social Sciences which tries to find out the characteristics of social behaviour of human beings. Man is a social animal and depends upon other individuals in every walk of life. Humans started their primitive life and in due course they formed groups and moved from one place to another and later formed Society. After forming groups and societies they have framed their own rules, norms & codes and had their leader under whom they led their way of life.In modern society we have different kinds of groups and organisations and societies. A common man is able to get contact with different kinds of members, groups and societies in different situations. So, ultimately men makes the society and the society makes the man. Their social behaviour is based on the individual and the society with whom he is in contact. Hence Social psychology is interested in studying the various characteristics of social reaction and social behaviour. It studies the individual behaviour in relation to his fellow men or society. So, Social Psychology is a systematic study of human behaviour in relation to his environment and the society.
