Social stats are the bread and butter of any Persona game, and players are often very aware of how well their stats are doing. This is particularly the case in Persona 4 Golden, where the opportunities to increase said stats aren’t as consistent as in the other games in the series. Here’s how to check your social stats in Persona 4 Golden.

How to increase social stats in Persona 4 Golden
Social stats can be increased in several ways in the game, such as studying (Knowledge), folding Origami (Understanding), and eating leftovers in your fridge (Courage). Below is a table of all the activities that can increase each stat:
| Social stat | Activities that increase it |
| Courage | – Occasionally eat something weird in your fridge (do it last, because Yu will pass out for the rest of the day after doing that) – Working in the hospital – Go on long rides with your scooter |
| diligence | – Play your chosen sport (basketball or football) after school – Fold envelopes in your room – Working part time at the bar – Playing outside with the cat at night (when Dojima is not there) |
| Concept | – Attend band practice (if you didn’t choose Drama) – Origami folding |
| Expression | – Worked as a translator and later as a tutor – Answer some questions correctly in class – Go to Drama Club (if you didn’t choose Band) |
| Knowledge | – Studying – Answer some questions correctly in class |
on Rainy days, you can dine at Aiyas and participate in the Mega Beef Bowl Challenge. You can only succeed by facing it with maximum courage, dedication, understanding and knowledge, but failing to do so will cause three of these four stats to randomly increase. Also keep an eye out for books to read as they can increase one of the five stats above.
