Yes, my first blog.

I'm an adjunct at the University of Central Oklahoma and I teach Social Psychology in the Sociology Department. I'm working on creating the class to be taught online at UCO. I figured before I ask my students to potentially create a blog for the course, I should try myself first.

What is Social Psychology? It is the scientific study of how people think about, influence, and relate to one another. In other words, it is everywhere we are.

What do I want my students to get out of Social Psychology? I will borrow from Dr. David G. Myers in saying that I want my students to know that knowledge of social psychology has "the power to restrain intuition with critical thinking, illusion with understanding, and judgmentalism with compassion."

What I plan to do with this blog is start posting anything I think relates to social psychology and explain why.
