Social Psychology
SCS 221 (Offering: 2003)

Description

Social Psychology examines the connections between individual psychology and the social environment and introduces students to key concepts in the application of social psychological theory. Developing understandings, concepts and theories explored in Introduction to Psychology, students examine the impact of an individual's behaviour and mental processes. The course addresses areas such as self-perception (identity and culture), perceiving others (attitudes, forming impressions, and close relationships), perceiving groups (prejudice and discrimination), group processes and influences, and social motives. This course integrates psychological with sociological knowledge to provide a sound basis for understanding the individual and society.
