Welcome to the British Psychological Society's

Social Psychology Section!

The Social Psychology Section is part of the British Psychological Society (BPS), which is a non-profit-making educational and professional organisation for psychologists in the UK. The Social Psychology Section was founded in 1953 and is now a thriving community of social psychologists.

As a section of the British Psychological Society (BPS), it receives financial support from the Society and it is represented on major BPS committees and at BPS conferences.

In the current socio-political context of education and research fundings cuts, where disciplines compete for the recognition of their societal and academic value, it is more important than ever that social psychology has a strong and distinctive voice

The Social Psychology Section aims to:

• encourage and promote social psychological research
• facilitate contact and communication between social psychologists
• represent the interests of UK social psychologists within the British Psychological Society and more widely,
• impact positively upon social psychology globally
• support activities such as workshops and conferences
• publish a referereed journal, the Social Psychological Review

The section is run by an elected committee. We always welcome any additional help from members.
