Class Description:
This is a lower division course designed primarily for majors or intended majors in psychology, and for undergraduates in other disciplines. PSY 1001 is the only prerequisite for PSY 3201. The course is designed to be an extensive but not an exhaustive overview of the various theories and methods employed by social psychologists in their attempts to understand how we make sense of other people, and how we influence and are influenced by other people. Topics covered include: human aggression and prosocial behavior; prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination; interpersonal relationships; persuasion and attitude change; person perception; and ways in which social psychology has been used to help us understand and solve "real world" problems. Information is disseminated primarily through lectures and discussion, and secondarily through films and videos. Students are asked to complete two midquarter and a final exam.
