The field of social psychology spans the boundary between the disciplines of psychology and sociology and has traditionally been associated with empirical research. Many studies of human behaviour in education are conducted by persons who identify with social psychology or whose work falls into the social psychological ambit. Several textbooks have been published and a variety of courses are being offered on the `social psychology of education', but no journal has hitherto appeared to cover the field. Social Psychology of Education fills this gap, covering a wide variety of content concerns, theoretical interests and research methods, among which are: Content concerns: classroom instruction decision making in education educational innovation concerns for gender, race, ethnicity and social class knowledge creation, transmission and effects leadership in schools and school systems long-term effects of instructional processes micropolitics of schools student cultures and interactions teacher recruitment and careers teacher- student relations Theoretical interests: achievement motivation attitude theory attribution theory conflict management and the learning of pro-social behaviour cultural and social capital discourse analysis group dynamics role theory social exchange theory social transition social learning theory status attainment symbolic interaction the study of organisations Research methods: comparative research experiments formal observations historical studies literature reviews panel studies qualitative methods sample surveys For social psychologists with a special interest in educational matters, educational researchers with a social psychological approach.

社会心理学领域跨越了心理学和社会学学科的界限，传统上与​​实证研究有关。许多关于教育中人类行为的研究都是由认同社会心理学或其工作属于社会心理学范围的人士进行的。已经出版了几本教科书，并开设了各种关于“教育社会心理学”的课程，但迄今为止似乎没有期刊涵盖该领域。社会教育心理学填补了这一空白，涵盖了各种各样的内容关注点、理论兴趣和研究方法，其中包括：内容关注点：课堂教学 教育决策 教育创新 对性别、种族、民族和社会阶层的关注 知识创造、传播和影响 学校和学校系统中的领导力 教学过程的长期影响 学校微观政治 学生文化和互动 教师招聘和职业 师生关系 理论兴​​趣：成就动机 态度理论 归因理论 冲突管理和亲社会行为的学习 文化和社会资本 话语分析 群体动力学 角色理论 社会交换理论 社会转型 社会学习理论 地位成就 符号互动 组织研究 研究方法：比较研究实验 正式观察 历史研究 文献综述 小组研究 定性方法 抽样调查 对于对教育问题特别感兴趣的社会心理学家，采用社会心理学方法的教育研究人员。
