PSY 230 - Social Psychology

Course Units: 1

(Same as SOC 203) (Fall, Winter, Spring; Bizer, Hart, Morton) This course presents an overview of the field of social psychology: We live in a world in which social factors can dramatically impact us. We will thus explore major theories and classic and contemporary research on why people think, feel, and behave the way they do in both individual and group settings. Topics may also include evolutionary and cultural perspectives, research methods and ethics in the field, and applications of social psychology to areas such as health, law, education, and public policy. Prerequisite(s): PSY 100 is required per the PSY Department. SOC-100 will not satisfy this course alone.
