  This position paper explores the intricate relationship between social
psychology and secure software engineering, underscoring the vital role social
psychology plays in the realm of engineering secure software systems. Beyond a
mere technical endeavor, this paper contends that understanding and integrating
social psychology principles into software processes are imperative for
establishing robust and secure software systems. Recent studies in related
fields show the importance of understanding the social psychology of other
security domains. Finally, we identify critical gaps in software security
research and present a set of research questions for incorporating more social
psychology into software security research.
