Social Psychology is the scientific study of how individuals think, feel, and behave in social contexts. It explores how people are influenced by their social environment and the presence of others, whether real, imagined, or implied. Social psychology bridges psychology and sociology, drawing on both fields to understand human behavior in social situations. Social psychology provides a comprehensive understanding of how social interactions shape human behavior. It emphasizes the power of the social environment and the complex interplay between individual characteristics and situational factors. By exploring these interactions, social psychology helps explain a wide range of human behaviors and contributes to addressing social issues.

This landmark theory of interpersonal relations and group functioning argues that the starting point for understanding social behavior is the analysis of dyadic interdependence. Such an analysis portrays the ways in which the separate and joint actions of two persons affect the quality of their lives and the survival of their relationship. The authors focus on patterns of interdependence, and on the assumption that these patterns play an important causal role in the processes, roles, and norms of relationships. This powerful theory has many applications in all the social sciences, including the study of social and moral norms; close-pair relationships; conflicts of interest and cognitive disputes; social orientations; the social evolution of economic prosperity and leadership in groups; and personal relationships.

The volume demonstrates that stigma is a normal - albeit undesirable - consequence of people's limited cognitive resources, and of the social information and experiences to which they are exposed. Incorporated are the perspectives of both the perceiver and the target; the relevance of personal and collective identities; and the interplay of affective, cognitive, and behavioral processes. Particular attention is given to how stigmatized persons make meaning of their predicaments, such as by forming alternative, positive group identities.
