Every day you do much of what social psychologists do. You try to understand people. Perhaps you have tried to figure out why someone behaved a certain way. You may even have predicted that someone would behave a certain way, and found that in fact they did. (“See I knew he/she would do that”). As social psychologists, we try and understand the complexities of people and we try and answer some big questions. Why do relationships end? How can a person say one thing and then do the opposite? How could someone be so cruel? In this course, I will teach you about the theories and research that inform our understanding of these complex questions.
