PSYC 682: Social Basis of Behavior

This hybrid course initiates with the discussion of main historical, theoretical and methodological concepts and approaches in social psychology. Also, throughout the weeks, students will explore the role of social-environmental factors in human cognition, behaviors, and relationships, developing an understanding of its relevance in their role as psychologists. PSYC 682 concludes with a discussion of liberation social psychology, to particularly consider not only social and historical practices that marginalize certain groups but also as an approach to promote practices that emerge from those who have been oppressed.
