Chapter 13 Social Psychology
Social Psychology can explain a lot about human behavior by looking at the social circumstances and events that push and pull people to act in certain ways.

Some concept ideas:
fundamental attribution error
prejudice
conformity
obedience

Here are a few topic ideas you can choose from but please feel free to find your own as well:
