Although social psychologists focus primarily on how social influences affect people,they also seek to understand the interaction between social influences and ______.

Social psychologists are interested in understanding how social influences interact with individual differences, such as personality traits, attitudes, beliefs, and values. This helps them to identify the conditions under which social influences are more or less effective and to tailor interventions to individuals' needs and preferences. Temperature patterns, animal behavior, and physics experiments are not relevant to social psychology.
