In this course, you
will:
- focus on improving your understanding of the determinants of social
behavior
- increase your knowledge about the research methods of social scientists
- improve your writing, communication, and critical reasoning skills
Social Psychology builds upon its prerequisites in the General
Education Program. The critical reasoning skills you developed
in Foundations of Inquiry will help you to evaluate the strengths
and weaknesses of different research strategies used in Social Psychology
research. You will be asked to consider both the conclusions that
are drawn from a particular research finding, as well as the limitations
of the research. In addition, you will be encouraged to evaluate,
compare, and contrast alternative theoretical explanations for social behavior.
We will build upon your analytical skills and writing from Language and
Composition by including a series of written assignments on social behaviors.
In class, you will participate in small group discussions and demonstrations,
which will provide an opportunity to practice your persuasion and argumentation
skills that are the focus of Language and Composition.
