This course offered by The Open University dives deep into social influences, from the psychology of crowds to the impact of social pressure on our beliefs and actions.

Humans are a social species. Religion and nationality are two ways in which we might classify ourselves into social groups, but there are countless others.

Even when we act alone, we find ourselves under the influence of social norms and pressures that can affect the things we say and do.

In this course from The Open University, lecturers David Kaposi, Daniel McCulloch, and Kesi Mahendran provide specific examples of human socialization that demonstrate the impact of group dynamics as well as individual choices.
