The general aim of the research program is to integrate basic and applied research. This implies an emphasis on experimental paradigms with considerable ecological validity, and on applied research that has the potential to contribute to theory development. The philosophy is that basic research needs to have relevance for phenomena in society, and that applied research needs to be directly theoretically relevant (for details, see www.rug.nl/psy/sop). The social psychology group contributes to the one-year Masters Program Social Psychology and its applications, and the two-year Research Master Program Interpersonal Behavior (www.rug.nl/gmw/rema).
