These pages use psychological and sociological theories to explore how individuals influence groups and are influenced by groups, how individuals influence each other and how groups influence groups.
The ‘Features’ contain material that is explicitly developed from the Integrated SocioPsychology concept. Material in the other sections is based on standard Psychology and Sociology academic specifications and has an Integrated SocioPsychology elaboration applied where appropriate.
Those who support the Integrated approach and are interested in such matters are invited to submit pieces for publication here as 'guest features' or 'guest reports'. Please get in touch with your ideas via the Contact page.
