What field of psychology studies the principles that explain human relationships?

Cognitive Psychology
Educational Psychology
Developmental Psychology
Social Psychology

The correct answer is: Social Psychology

Social psychology is the field of psychology that studies the principles that explain human relationships. This includes how people perceive, influence, and interact with others. Cognitive psychology, on the other hand, focuses on how the mind processes and stores information. Educational psychology is concerned with learning and educational processes. Developmental psychology examines the physical, cognitive, and social development of individuals over their lifespan. Therefore, none of these other options specifically study the principles that explain human relationships like social psychology does.
