A key contribution of the discipline is that social factors matter. Our lives are not only shaped by personal psychology, but also by our place in the social world. Sociology examines how social structures, such as the workplace, political, economic, educational and religious institutions affect individuals and how individuals influence these structures. Sociologists also explore how people's socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexualities and marital status affect their attitudes, behavior and chances in life. Sociologists organize their knowledge in theories, which they both create and test through social research. Often such research is aimed at understanding important social issues and problems. Sociologists study the patterns of behavior that characterize human interaction. They seek to discover the main forces that unite and separate social groups and to determine the conditions that transform social life.
