The
Social Psychology Program at NSF supports
basic research on human social behavior,
including cultural differences and development
over the life span.
Among
the many research topics supported are:
attitude formation and change, social
cognition, personality processes, interpersonal
relations and group processes, the self,
emotion, social comparison and social
influence, the social psychology of health,
and the psychophysiological correlates
of social behavior.
The scientific
merit of a proposal depends on four important factors: (1)
The problems investigated must be theoretically grounded.
(2) The research should be based on empirical observation
or be subject to empirical validation. (3) The research design
must be appropriate to the questions asked. (4) The proposed
research must advance basic understanding of social behavior.
