Human Social Behavior
Course Prerequisite
Approved reading placement score, or equivalent.
Course Description
This course will emphasize empirically derived principles of human social behavior. A number of topics will be considered including: attitudes and attitude change; interpersonal attraction; social influence, conformity and obedience; person perception (impression formation); aggression and altruism; group processes and leadership; and prejudice and discrimination. The thrust of the course will be to deal with two questions: (1) What has psychological research shown us about human social behavior (in each of the topical areas mentioned above); and (2) What are the implications of this research for understanding, changing or resisting the change of ourselves, others and society.
