What is an example of social psychology?

  1. Assessing the influence of beliefs

  2. Investigating the cause of an illness

  3. Understanding the effects of drugs on hormones

  4. Observing how people interact with others

The correct answer is: Observing how people interact with others

An example of social psychology is observing how people interact with others. This field of psychology focuses on understanding how individuals behave and think in social situations, such as in groups or in relationships. Option A is related to cognitive psychology, which studies the influence of beliefs on behavior. Option B is related to the field of health psychology, which examines the impact of physical and mental health on behavior. Option C is more closely related to biological psychology, which explores the relationship between the brain and behavior. While these fields may overlap with social psychology, they focus on different aspects of human behavior. Therefore, option D is the most accurate example of social psychology.
