The correct answer is disregard; not confess

Social psychology is a sub-area of ​​psychology, to which it presents several definitions, approaches and objects of study. Other authors believe that it is the intersection between psychology and sociology, since the social psychologist aims to help the individual, however considering his social environment, in a macro conception. It does not aim at individual change, but at collective. Regardless of the approach that the psychologist chooses to use, there are psychoanalysts or behaviorists who work in this area.

Social psychology is, in my understanding, the science of between. This means that the privileged place of psychosocial inquiry is neither the individual nor society, but precisely that nebulous and hybrid zone that comprises the relations between the two
