CPSY 3400 Social Psychology
Social Psychology is the scientific study of how people think about, influence, and relate to one another. This course will serve as a general introduction to many of the principles and concepts of Social Psychology and help students apply them in practical contexts. Students will review various sociological approaches in this field that may directly and indirectly affect social phenomena. The applied nature of the course will touch the array of topics from the individual to the group level of analysis. Social Psychology bridges the gap between disciplines of Psychology, which focuses primarily on the individual, and Sociology, which focuses primarily on the group/society, thus serving students well in their later applied work. This class will culminate with students generating an assessment instrument and interviewing a peer in order to reflect on social and cultural factors that shape their life experiences.
