Social, Economic and Organisational Psychology
Social, Economic and Organisational Psychology focuses on the application of scientific psychological knowledge of social processes within and between groups of people and individuals, in organisations, but also during economic and consumer decisions.
The specialisation deals with questions such as "Why do people want to belong to groups?" and "Do people always act rationally when making (economic) decisions?"
