(SS) Social Science (SA) Social Analysis

Social psychology deals with the study of people and the environmental contexts in which they live. Social psychology encompasses a broad range of topics, including such areas as conformity, attitudes, gender, attraction and love, helping and aggression, and prejudice and discrimination. Through lectures, discussions, demonstrations and group activities, we will take a scientific approach to explore these everyday topics. We will examine classic, as well as more contemporary, research in social psychology, critically evaluate this research and apply social psychological findings to real world situations.
