Question
What is the relationship between Sociology and Psychology?
✓
Answer
Psychology is one of the closest subjects to sociology:
Psychology focuses on the study of an individual's mind, whereas sociology studies society.
Psychology is the science of behaviour, mental processes, experience whereas Sociology is the study of social behaviour of man in society.
Psychology is more interested in intelligence, learning, emotions, motivation, memory etc. Sociology is interested in relationships between family, marriage, kinship values and norms.
Psychology studies about hopes and fears of individuals, sociology studies about social institutions in an organised way.
Social psychology bridges the gap between two subjects and studies how individuals behave collectively in society.
