Proseminar in Basic Problems in Psychology: Social Psychology

This course is designed as a high-level overview of social psychology for psychology graduate students. Human beings are fundamentally social animals. Each day they think about, interact with, and/or are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others. More than it is commonly realized, people's experiences shape and are shaped by their thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In this course, we cover a range of social psychology topics, emphasizing ideas represented within our department and continually thinking about people as being fundamentally socially embedded.
