Sociology can be understood solely through individual psychological factors without considering broader social influences.

Sociology is the study of how people interact with each other and how society shapes our lives. While individual psychological factors, like personal beliefs and emotions, play a role in how we behave, they do not tell the whole story. For example, a person might feel anxious in social situations because of their personality, but this anxiety can also be influenced by societal expectations, cultural norms, or past experiences with social groups. If we only focus on individual psychology, we miss out on understanding how things like family background, economic status, and community can affect a person’s behavior. Therefore, to fully understand social behavior, we must look at both individual and broader social influences together.
