"...we are social animals. We cannot live for ourselves alone, for we are connected with others by “a thousand fibres” through which “run [our] actions as causes, and return to [us] as effects” (Melvill, 1855). Social psychologists explore these connections by scientifically studying how we think about, influence, and relate to one another."
