 课程背景 Course background

社会心理学是研究人类与他人互动的学科。它探讨了人们在信仰与行动中如何受到他人影响，以及我们的态度
和信念如何影响我们对经历的解读和对他人的回应，这些态度和信念从何而来，以及在何种条件下会发生变化。同
时，社会心理学还涉及我们在决策和形成判断（包括道德判断）时与他人之间的互动。社会心理学在许多职业领域
中都是一种宝贵的资源，包括管理、领导、冲突解决、教育、社会政策和市场。它为我们提供了深入了解人类行为
和思维的见解，帮助我们更好地理解人际关系，提升管理能力，解决冲突，制定更有效的教育和社会政策，并在市
场中取得成功。

Social psychology is the study of humans in interaction with others. This includes how we are influenced by others in what
we believe and how we act, what attitudes and beliefs affect how we interpret our experiences and how we respond to others,
where these attitudes and beliefs come from and under what conditions they change. It includes how we interact with others
in decision-making and forming judgements including about morality. Social psychology is a valuable resource for many
areas of professional life, including management, leadership, conflict resolution, education, social policy and the market.
