This course examines individual personality and behaviour in relation to other individuals, society and culture. The material will provide students with an understanding of how social forces interact with the individual to powerfully impact behaviour. The focus is on learning fundamental theories and principles of social influence and applying these fundamentals to current events and personal experiences. Topics include social perception, attitudes and values, conformity and obedience, prejudice and discrimination, aggression and violence, etc.
The course provides web links, videos and learning activities to enhance learning. The written assignments will help students develop critical thinking skills and improve academic/professional writing skills. There is also ample opportunity for practice and feedback.
This course also fulfills three of the 12 required credits in foundations courses toward a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at UNB and is a prerequisite for all upper-year social psychology-focused courses (e.g., cultural psychology, applied social psychology).
