This course is all about you. We’ll explore Social Psychology - what are the origins of attraction, of stereotypes, of kindness, of conformity, and of your social identity? We’ll study Cognitive Psychology - how do you learn, remember, and change as a thinker? We’ll study Biological Psychology - how do hormones or neurotransmitters impact your behavior and how does your brain change over time? The course is project driven and connects to your lived experience. In the end, students will select a final project from the fields of sports psych, evolutionary psych, health psych, relationship psych or abnormal psych and present their findings to our classroom community.
