Social psychology is the scientific study of the way people think, feel, and behave in social situations. The course examines the relationship between individuals and their social environment helping to understand how we influence, and are influenced by, other people and the social contexts around us. A primary goal of this course is to introduce you to the perspectives, research methods, and seminal findings of social psychology. Equally important is allowing you to cultivate your skills for analyzing the social situations you encounter in everyday life.
These issues are addressed with social psychological theories from both Psychology and Sociology.
