The Social Psychology Network is a comprehensive source of information for students interested in exploring almost any topic related to social psychology. Perhaps of greatest use are the links to other sites organized by topic, such as conformity, cultural influences, prejudice, and aggression. You can also participate in social psychology studies from around the world, visit social psychology research groups and journals, browse through a list of social psychology textbooks, and visit the home pages of individual social psychologists. The electronic journal Current Research in Social Psychology, which is affiliated with theUniversity of Iowa, provides free access to articles on a wide variety of subjects in Social Psychology.
