What do social psychologists do on a daily basis?

Social psychologists perform experiments, study interpersonal dynamics, and record findings on a daily basis.

• Perform experiments. Social psychologists design and conduct research aimed at improving our understanding of social interactions and their effects on humans and society overall. Performing experiments and research studies is crucial for this. The exact experiments conducted vary greatly depending on the goals of the experiment.
• Study interpersonal dynamics. This can include studying things like prejudice, bullying, criminal activity, and even substance abuse. This research can be done by looking into studies from other psychologists, analyzing past data, and creating hypotheses for potential experimentation.
• Record findings. While it may seem like social psychologists spend their days performing experiments, there is a lot of paperwork that needs to be completed. Recording findings is crucial for social psychologists. This legitimizes their work, and allows other social psychologists to contribute to each other's work.
