PSY 7200 Seminar in Social Psychology

The course will examine both personal and situational factors that influence cognition, affect, and behavior as well as the interplay between the person and the situation. Students will master the various intellectual approaches in understanding processes in social psychology, such as “hot” (emotion and motivation) versus “cold” (cognition), controlled versus automatic, and implicit versus explicit. We will also draw on diverse perspectives such as social neuroscience and cross-cultural psychology in the study of social psychological phenomena. This course will provide students with a solid theoretical and empirical background in social psychology as well as engage students in applying social psychological principles to clinical research and practice. Prerequisite(s): Restricted to students in the Master’s in Clinical & Counseling Psychology and PSYD.
