Social psychology from a psychological perspective

Education facts

Code: PSGA66

Social psychology centres on the psychological study of an individual's thoughts, feelings and behaviour in social situations in terms of questions such as the following: How is our performance affected by the presence of other people? How are we affected by social influence such as conformity and obedience? How are our attitudes shaped and changed? What affects prosocial behaviour? Instruction is mainly in the form of net-based lectures, individual case studies, and preparatory assignments. Students are required to study course literature between instructional sessions.
