PSYC6062Social Psychology3 ch
This seminar addresses a wide range of themes in social psychology, with special attention given to the interrelationships between individuals, groups, and societies. The course focuses on core areas of theory and empirical research, including social cognition, attitudes, persuasion, group conformity and cohesion, interpersonal attraction and the self. We examine recent theoretical and empirical advances in social psychology rather than focus on the “classics” alone. Discussion emphasizes research models and techniques and how best to apply them to problems of current interest in social psychology.
