Social psychology is the scientific study of how people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied the presence of others. We often have firmly held beliefs about why people think and behave the way they do. Sometimes our intuitions are correct, but often they are not.
Social psychology helps us understand how people think about themselves and other people and what motivates their behavior in social settings. This course explores a range of topics in social psychology, from how we think about ourselves, how we think about others, and how we interact and communicate with others.
We will also discuss the ways that we can influence
others and be influenced by others. Finally, we look at some problematic
aspects of human behavior, such as prejudice and aggression.
The interested candidates can enroll in this online course on or before 14 March 2017.
