The Role of Social Psychology in Strengthening Family Values

Abstract

This thesis explores the critical role social psychology plays in understanding and strengthening family values. Social psychology examines how individuals’ thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are influenced by the presence of others, including within close-knit groups such as families. By analyzing key concepts such as social influence, communication patterns, group dynamics, and conflict resolution, this research delves into how social psychological theories and interventions can reinforce positive family interactions, nurture family cohesion, and promote enduring family values. The study highlights how applying social psychology principles can help families adapt to social changes and maintain their integrity across generations.
