Teaching suggestions
In-class activities and exercises
What do people know or believe about social psychology? Have the class design a short survey
that explores social psychology’s links to psychology and to other disciplines at their university.
Each student administers the survey to five non-psychology students randomly selected on
campus. The aggregated data from the class can be analysed to summarise the level of
knowledge in the sample tested. The content should be interesting. The exercise also illustrates
the challengers we encounter in investigating and interpreting even elementary social
psychological phenomena. It will also help students understand some issues in defining social
psychology.
Industry-related practical applications and discussions
Let the whole class construct a list of all the fields of psychology that they know of (e.g.
developmental, organisational, clinical, personality, neuroscience, etc.). Break the class into
small discussion groups and assign each group one or more of the fields of psychology from the
class list. Each group should discuss the relationships between their allotted field(s) of
psychology and the discipline of social psychology. Have each group feedback to the class their
perception of overlaps that occur between the study of social psychology and the field that they
discussed. If time permits, see if the class (or groups) can construct a diagram that demonstrates
the relationships and overlaps of interests between social psychology and all the other fields of
psychology discussed.
Discussion topic
Science and social psychology – Can, or should, social psychology be a ‘hard’ science? Discuss
the role of scientific and quantitative research in the study of social psychology.
