This course is designed as an introductory overview of classical and contemporary social psychology. The lectures cover a wide range of core topics in social psychology, from the individual (e.g. the self concept and self presentation) to social groups (e.g. intergroup conflict). The course also considers wider applications of social psychology (e.g. social psychology in the courtroom). The course also contains a laboratory class in which students work in small groups conducting social psychology research projects.
The first goal in this course is to have you broadly learn about social psychological theories and empirical evidence on the impact of social context on human behaviour. The second goal is to help you learn how theories are translated into research questions and tested empirically inside and outside the laboratory using varied methodologies; and how resulting findings help illuminate social phenomena in everyday life while sometimes helping in the creation of interventions. The final goal of the course is to help you think independently and develop your own research ideas that build on existing work.
