| PSYC 201 - SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY |
|
Prerequisite: PSYC 103 Introduction to Psychology
This course will provide students with a basic overview of social psychology. The course will focus on social and situational factors that influence people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Additionally, students will learn to critically understand and evaluate theories in social psychology, the implications of the theories for human nature, and how the theories apply to phenomena experienced in people’s everyday life. Whenever possible, the course will focus on research with real-world implications and the application of psychological concepts to real-world scenarios. Students will develop an appreciation of how an investigation of the human mind requires a multi-level analysis, including the individual and their socio-cultural environment. The course will cover a variety of topics including: research methods in social psychology, the self, social cognition, attitudes, emotion, social influence, persuasion, prosocial behavior, antisocial behavior, attraction and relationships, and prejudice and intergroup relations.
