- Class Description:
- Social cognition is a thriving, scientifically active subfield of social psychology. It encompasses the study of the cognitive and motivational processes underlying social judgment, thought, and behavior. Social cognition has reached a stage in its development as a scientific field that the principles and processes associated with the field have become influential not only within social psychology (where social cognitive analyses influence theory and research on a wide range of social psychological phenomena, ranging from the self to intergroup relations), but in other subfields within psychological science (e.g., social development, I/O psychology, health psychology, cognitive neuroscience) as well as in other disciplines (e.g., political science, law, mass communications, public health). Therefore, the primary objective of this graduate seminar is to orient you to the social cognition way of thinking about research questions and to enhance your ability to evaluate the contribution of the social cognition perspective as it has been applied to research issues inside and outside the subfield's specific domain, including your own field of expertise.
