Course program - Last names A-K
The course will provide an overview of basic social psychological principles, theories, constructs, and methodologies.
In order to investigate the relationship between social psychology and common sense, it will explore the scientific theories about causes and consequences of human behaviour in social and cultural contexts.
Topics include classic areas (perception, social cognition and judgment; self-concept; attitudes; social relationships; groups; communication; social influences), their intersections (stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination; persuasion; change of attitudes; helping behaviours, altruism, aggression; conflicts and their resolution), and the application of social psychological theories for the comprehension of social dynamics and the intervention in several everyday life contexts (family, school, work, health).
