Psychology is the study of the individual, while sociology is the study of groups of people. This means that a social psychologist are interested in the individual, but in the way they act around, interact with, and relate to others. Because of this, social psychologists in the past have done hundreds of studies to see how and why people act the way they do around others, how they are influenced by others, and what we have in common in terms of our behaviors when we get into large groups of people. Once such study is called The Stanford Prison Experiment conducted by Philip Zimbardo in 1971. Please answer the following questions in your original discussion post:
