Social Psychology

Course info

Man is a social animal, and as such, it is very important to understand the psychology of how we interact with each other, or act as a group rather than as an individual. By understanding the "natural" social needs of a person, you can develop an increased sensitivity to other people, and better identify and assist people with attending to deficiencies in their social interactions.  This course will help you to understand all this and more!

What will you achieve from this course?

After completing Social Psychology you will understand how physical characteristics and non-verbal behaviour affect our formation of impressions of others, and how that information is processed.  You will have knowledge of attribution theory, the internal and external causes, and its role in self-perception and the perception of others and the emergence of prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination from the perspective of social psychology and attitudes.
