(measure attitude first)

(measure attitudes after)

Add a history slide
- Social relatively recent development from nexus b/w psychology and sociology
sociology focuses on groups; psychology on individuals; social psychology on the dynamic relationship between individuals and others
Figure 1 can be redrawn in a non propietry form and include:
- Political psychology
- Environmental psychology
- Developmental psychology
- Cognitive psychology
- Clinical psychology
- Organisational / Industrial psychology
- Marketing psychology
Consider/try finding an image for each of these themes and updating/changing the gallery so its more like a flickr slideshow
Content on 'self' at the end (last 5 mins) was a bit weak - check textbook more carefully and consider moving it to next week (bec. it can lead into relationships) - maybe include a self-test
Add diagrams showing circles and relations b/w groups and individuals (see Intro 3rd year SP lecture) - important to show/emphasize the kinds of relations
- Circles
  - I (Individual)
  - G (Group
  - depict possible relations / interactions
  - Add 'unit of analysis' as a feature
