About

The Social Psychology Laboratory at Seoul National University conducts research on various topics within social psychology to benefit individuals and society. In particular, we explore factors that contribute to individuals' well-being, as well as beliefs and thought patterns associated with happiness.


Social psychology offers a more structured framework for comprehending and elucidating the diverse set of ideas and values that shape our individual lives. It enables us to grasp aspects beyond our personal experiences and discover ways to live a better life. From this perspective, researching the causes and contributors to well-being and happiness can be seen as being directly related to a better life.


By conducting extensive research, we pinpoint elements that elevate the quality of life and investigate methods for enhancing not just our personal well-being but also that of the people in our proximity.


Nevertheless, it's important to highlight that our laboratory doesn't exclusively concentrate on the concepts of well-being and happiness; instead, we have a broader interest in various subjects within social psychology.
