i could write an entire essay on this since i studied social science (of which sociology is a sub devision). there's lots of overlap between the 2. but i would say in a nutshell, the difference is: sociology is concerned with the study and the understanding of human interactions in the context of living in a society, while psychology is concerned with the mind and how the thinking processes in individuals or groups work.

i don't think you'll be able to study social science while ignoring psychology. and i don't think you can study psychology while ignoring social science.

Psychology is primarily interested in studying behavior at the individual or small group level, while sociology typically looks at larger social networks or societies as a whole.

In other works, psychologists have jobs, sociologists are usually looking for one. LOL

After a certain amount of decent to good advice given on GaG shouldn’t there be a new class and diploma awarded to us? Gagologists? Something profound, but you would fear hanging the certificate on your own office wall in case of questions.. “This bot gave it to me..”

Bricealan · Answer

My Undergrad degree is in Sociology and had several Psychology classes at that time. My graduate degree from Pepperdine is an MBA.

An interesting question, and probably many people understand the difference. I did not follow on with a Masters in Sociology because after doing my Field work as an undergrad, I knew I could not make that my career, except perhaps as an Admin, with some agency that served the public, perhaps in Planned Parenthood, or some other social agency.

Guardian45 · Answer

I could be wrong, but don't psychologists focus on the workings of the mind. While sociologists focus on the social interactions between individuals. And anthropologists focus on the interactions of entire societies of individuals?

jshm2 · Answer

Yes.  Both are shit careers though. Where one is about peoples mental health, the other is about what that mind gets up to.

SmokyOne · Answer

One focuses on the inner workings of an individual while the other focuses on the workings of a society and people within it.  It's literally in the name.
