Welcome to the psychological social psychology subpage. This page was created in response to the discussion on the social psychology page. -Nick^talk 04:23, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've placed a call for experts on this page. If you have any experience in psychological social psychology, please help out. Take a look at the original social psychology page and see what info should be moved (or copied) over here. -Nick^talk 23:42, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think an "Important terms and concepts" section would be nice. I think the original page's version goes into WAY too much detail (especially when there are pages available for some of those concepts), but a lot of the concepts listed are important to include.

One thing I noticed while looking for pages on SP-related topics was that there was a lot of redundancy and strange redirects. One other thing to do may be to try and find people to work on merging those pages.

Y'know, just a couple little thing. Dujang Prang 17:22, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Material from the Social psychology page has been moved here but is in a huge comment embedded in the text. Draw on it or delete obviously irrelevant parts of it as you see fit. -DoctorW 07:13, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I spent a couple of hours today restoring much of the original content that pertained to the psychological study of social psychology, e.g. classic experiments, key concepts, etc. I also reworked the definition, focusing on Allport's explanation and the demarcation of psychological and sociological approaches. The article still needs some work and refinement, but it's starting to look better...

Thanks. Serious attention to all this by serious content generators is both welcome and long overdue.

Must ask, though: why are the heuristics, persuasion, and group dynamics sections in both PSP and SSP wikis? Lucidish _{{ Ben S. Nelson }} 02:14, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Those will probably come off the sociology page at some point, though there still will be some areas of overlap when all is said and done. I've been focusing on tidying up this page first. Also, I'm a little hesitant about doing too much with that page since I'm not a sociologist. Jcbutler 17:07, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that it's well past time that we put more meat back on the original SP article by underscoring what exactly those points of overlap really are. Otherwise, we're just going to be repeating ourselves. Anyway, good luck. Lucidish _{{ Ben S. Nelson }} 04:55, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
