It seeks to arouse your curiosity, to make you puzzle over the mundane as well as the unusual features of your social world and to help you develop your powers of observation.It should make you aware that social psychology does not operate with a single theoretical perspective. Social psychologists employ a variety of theoretical perspectives to make sense of personal lives and social worlds and the methods they use to study social psychological phenomena are equally diverse.The Trigger Units aims to:- Encourage you to think about the way in which social psychologists construct research problems- Highlight the three domains across which social psychologists typically operate: the individual person, the interpersonal, and the group or social collective- Alert you to the multiperspective nature of social psychology- Get you thinking about the research strategies employed by social psychologists and the types of data collected- Challenge you to look critically at popular accounts of social behaviour and social life- Highlight the way in which social psychology borrows from and overlaps with other disciplines (e.g. sociology, anthropology)- Motivate you to reflect on the value of personal experience in helping you to make sense of social psychology
