Social Psychology
Pre-Test Questions
Course Introduction
Social Psychology is the scientific study of how individuals thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of other people. This course explores major theories and empirical findings related to topics such as social perception, attitudes, conformity, aggression, prejudice, group dynamics, interpersonal attraction, and prosocial behavior. Through examining classic and contemporary research, students gain an understanding of how social context shapes human behavior and the implications for real-world issues, including relationships, discrimination, and collective action.
