Sociological Social Psychology begins with society, or interaction. A view of social psychology from this perspective tends to focus on group level behavior. Sociological Social Psychologists are interested in both the individual and the group, but generally within the context of larger social structures.
Most social psychologists come from the psychological sciences. A psychological approach to social psychology begins with the individual and often with cognition itself. Psychological Social Psychology seeks to explain the internal processes of individuals as they relate with other people.
