Students learn to think critically about everyday behaviors and gain an appreciation for the world around them, regardless of background or major. Social Psychology's conversational voice helps students to access and enjoy this exciting science. Students explore scientific studies of universal questions of love, hate, conformity and independence, prejudice and helping, persuasion and self-determination.
