Social Psychology
1) Social Psychology

2) Political Psychology
Investigates how general voters, who lack specialized political knowledge, understand and behave in political contexts, by applying psychological insights.
3) Media and Communication Research
Explores how major shifts in the media environment—such as the decline in the status of mass media and increase in individual choices—affect people's values and behavior, and how these changes, in turn, shape society as a whole.
