"Social Psychology, as the writer conceives it, studies the psychic planes and currents that come into existence among men in consequence of their association." That is, it must confine itself to the "uniformities in feeling, belief, or volition -- and hence in action -- which are due to the interaction of human beings." Here we find a certain field of human experience cut off from the rest, because men and women influence each other within that field. There result certain uniformities from this interaction and this makes the subject matter of the science of social psychology. In the same manner one might investigate the psychology of mountain tribes because they are subject to the influence of high altitudes and rugged landscape. Sociality is for Professor Ross no fundamental feature of human consciousness, no determining form of its structure.\n\nCitation: George Herbert Mead.

I see you haven't gotten any answers on this.  I am not totally sure what you are asking, but I think it might be a good question.  \n\nYou need to define social role.\n\nAre you referring to social values?  Like it used to be rude to wear your hat at the dinner table and now everyone does it, or that once upon a time people opened the door for a lady or held the door for an older person?\n\nOr are you talking more about the moral influences on society that differ by generation?\n\nThe only thing I can get from "social roles" would be maybe referring to stereotypes.  By age to you mean our view of the characteristics of a certain "social role" or do you mean that people of different ages play different social roles?\n\nYou can make this a cool question if you can explain yourself a little better.

Psychology: A Consise Introduction, by Richard A. Griggs.\n\nI used this text book in my Psychology class at my college this past year and I found it very clear and informative. It covers all of the basics and presents examples using actual experiments. There are also very colorful diagrams which make things easier to see. It breaks down info into related sections which also makes the information very easy to absorb. The author is an excellent and intelligent writer. I highly recommend this text book.

the anthropology is the study of humankind, sociology is the study of man in a social environment. So a man is an individual with many characteristics but he's also a part of a society as soon as he's not alone. What man will always do, no matter of the environment is an anthropological subject, evolution of a man in different "societies" is a sociological subject.\nBut if you believe in the statement: "man is a social animal", you will find that the part of anthropology that studies the ability of a man to socialize is the same as the first study of a man as a sociological subject...

Psychology is the study of the mind.  It is a category that would include mental health.  Example:  how the brain is conditioned (how people learn).  \n\nMental health is how to take care of your mind.  It is a subcategory of psychology.  Someone in the mental health field might study about different mental disorders like schizophrenia.

I think it may mean different things to different people, but to me it means, someone who isn't in touch with their own feelings, who isn't aware of how their behaviour makes others feel, or if they are aware they either don't care or are too impoverished as human beings to care about the feelings of others and the pain they cause.  I would even describe some of them as sociopaths, i.e. people who have no regard for the feelings of others and no capacity to feel for or think about anyone but themselves.  I would say they often have a distinct lack of substance to their inner being and are emotionally bankrupt!!  As for the behaviour of a player, they are out to get you emotionally hooked and they feed off this emotion like a parasite or vampire (as generally, they are dead inside themselves), then when they have you hooked, job done, emotion sucked out, ego appropriately boosted and move on to the next victim for another fix.  How they may get you emotionally hooked is by doing and saying whatever  'loving',  'caring', and 'charming' things that need to be said and done, without being able to emotionally connect with the meaning any of it.  So it is completely false, but they may not realise this so that makes them very hard to spot!!  I think this is the worst thing about a player, they are often not aware that this is what they are doing which makes any kind of honest or genuine relationship with them impossible, well, at least until they have grown up, if they ever do ... very, very interesting question, thank you for asking it!!

Social phobia is a form of an anxiety disorder. The medical conceptualization is a problem with brain chemistry, preventing the appropriate messages from getting through. The cognitive behavioral conceptualization is a problem with "stinkin' thinkin'" preventing you from feeling more comfortable due to the unhelpful or irrational thoughts you have (like, "Nobody loves me, everybody hates me!").\n\nA common technique is the experiment: are other people socializing there? If so, logically, there's nothing to be afraid of.\n\nSeek an evaluation for the social phobia. You may want to try cognitive therapy and medication. Be sure to exercise - it's good for your brain as well as your body.

Very strange, I was discussing a girl with a friend earlier tonight. She is extremely shy and it's difficult for me to understand what she's thinking half of the time. I used to be introverted and then had a major incident and came out extroverted. I asked a psychologist if it was possible to change in that fashion. She replied "Yes, people may change with time. However it usually happens because of some life changing event". Good luck.

Sociology= study of society, social institutions, social relationships; or the systematic study of the development, structure, interaction, and collective behavior of organized groups of human beings\n\nAnthropology= the study of human beings (human beings and their ancestors through time and space and in relation to physical character, environmental and social relations, and culture)\n\nEthnography= the study and systematic recording of human cultures\n\nEthnology= a study that deals with the division of human beings into races and their origin, distribution, relations, and characteristics. so basically it's anthropology dealing chiefly with the comparative and analytical study of cultures

As an organized body of knowledge and objective investigation, psychology absolutely is a science.  Moreover, experimental psychology is one of, if not the most methodologically sound social science.  \n\nI agree that the statement above is extremely vague.  Also, there are certain types of behavior and mental processes that are more or less interesting to psychologists of different types (i.e. clinical, developmental, social, biological, environmental, etc.).  \n\nRegarding phenomena of interest, there is certainly great overlap between anthropology, sociology, economics, and other fields, but in no way does this justify questioning the legitimacy of psychology as a science.\n\nI would be glad to help the questioner (or the previous responder) clarify definitions or conceptualizations of the field if needed...

lets see....your on a web site that asks questions of other humans so we can learn, understand, sometimes roll our eyes at the stupidity and rationalize our place within our social setting/ group...right? \nthat's sociology......the  mundane that links us together as a social group. every "thinking" animal uses it to survive and as a precursor to evolution.

sociology [emphasizes human sociality] as central to its pursuit. \n\n\nSociological inquiry is [holistic] in maintaining that human action can be understood only by linking it organically to the whole of social life\n\nSociological inquiry is [analytical and structural]. Sociology does not accept at face value common sense understandings or publicly stated positions about society; rather, it seeks to probe beneath the surface for the actual dynamics\n\n\nSociology demands [empirical] evidence that links sociological ideas to lived experience\n\nsociology is a [morally engaged] discipline
