Cultural Anthropology studies human beings and the development and dynamics of their cultures. Sociology is a statistical study of human social issues (my layman's definition). And [Social Psychology]? studies individual human thought and behavior in social settings.

Thanks! But heck, I knew that much. I wanted a longer, more in-depth answer! I'll say so on the cultural anthropology page. --LMS

Ah, I wondered if that was your question, but since you had logged on anonymously (for that entry) and that didn't exactly seem like a question you'd ask, I just decided to write a rather brief description. What the heck, I need to do some academic reading this weekend, I can try to put together a more descriptive article.

Nope nope and nope... No arguments about Social psychology but Cultural anthropology and sociology are not distinguished by statics/cynamics. Traditional (and equally wrong) distinctions would have anthropology looking at whatever non-western and sociology looking at (yup) Western (euroamerican etc.) societies.
