The topics I would like to consider revolve around psychology within group/ social dynamics:
The first topic revolves around the role gender has on psychological perspective; I would like to look into if there is a gender based foundation to behavior and psychology that is removed from cultural consideration. Going with this topic would research to what extent gender dictates our collective and individual thought process.
The second topic I would like to consider investigates group dynamics. I would like to research how psychological processes in groups lead to the emergence of leaders. Moreover, how does the emergence of leaders lead to the compliance of others?
Another topic I was thinking about deals with what “normal” is. To what extent is psychology reliant on culture to define normalcy?
