Class Description:
Principles of Social Psychology Social psychology lies at the intersection of "macro" and 'micro" sociology. By drawing on both sociology and psychology, it illuminates the dynamic linkages of social organization, interaction processes, attitudes, and the self. Students will learn principles drawn from different theoretical perspectives, including symbolic interactionism, expectation states theory, social structure and personality, and the life course. The course covers a broad range of topics as well as diverse methods that social psychologists use to study them (for example, experiments, surveys, ethnographic observation). The class shows the relevance of social psychology to contemporary social problems and issues, including inequality (based on gender, race/ethnicity, occupation, wealth), discrimination, torture, and terrorism.
