Social Psychologist

A Social Psychologist studies how social influences affect individual behaviour and attitudes. You might work in academic institutions, research organisations, or consultancy firms. Social Psychologists design and conduct research, analyse social interactions and group dynamics, and provide insights into social behaviour. You’ll also apply psychological theories to address social issues and improve community programmes.

Social Psychologists play a significant role in understanding societal behaviours. You’ll need to be analytical and empathetic, with strong research and communication skills. You’ll work with diverse groups to apply psychological principles in practical settings, aiming to enhance social well-being and address social challenges effectively.
