Abstract
Social psychology is hard to define since the current definition is too similar to the definition of general psychology. Within this literature review, several articles researching the social phenomenon of attraction were critically analyzed on how they interpret social. The articles were analyzed according to a definition of social which is created especially for this study, based on different definitions of social that I deemed valid. The findings suggest that its apparent that the focus is primarily on the individual rather than a collective experience. The methods used in the articles mostly don’t facilitate the required circumstances to create an ecologically valid social situation that would have both an individual component and a collective component. So there is no interplay between the subject and their surroundings that could be observed. Next to this, the social phenomena studied are not conceptualized which makes it hard to assess how social they actually are
