Library Research Assignment

Research social interaction, and pick one type of relationship as it is studied through the eyes of a social psychologist. How have social psychologists studied this particular behavior in the past? For example, if you choose abusive relationships, would they study by report, observation, lab findings, or field study? Do you think their conclusions are accurate? Why or why not? How does your experience of the relationship support their findings? If you could study the same behavior, how might you do it differently? Would your results be more or less accurate?
