Social Psychology

Catalog description

In this course, students will learn about the scientific study of the way individuals think about, feel about, and act toward other people. We will emphasize the use of scientific methods to address these topics, and to that end students will be expected to read primary research articles, and to conduct research projects in small groups over the course of the term. Topics will include aggression, conformity, altruism, stereotyping and relationships. Prerequisites: PSYC-246.
