This course attempts to blend a comprehensive overview of social psychology with in-depth lectures exploring the history of the field, reviewing major findings and highlighting areas of current research. The course will focus on classic studies that have profoundly changed our understanding of human nature and social interaction, and, in turn, have triggered significant paradigm shifts within the field. Some of the topics covered in the class will include: individuals and groups, conformity and obedience, attraction, intergroup relations, and judgment and decision-making. The overall aims of the course will be to foster interest in social psychology specifically, and scientific curiosity in general, in a fun, supportive and intellectually stimulating environment.

Strengths and weaknesses of various perspectives and approaches scientists use to learn about children.
Personality Psychology
Focus on current empirical and theoretical approaches to personality. Lectures will be organized around the following questions central to personality research: How and why do people differ? How do we measure individual differences? Does personality change over time? How does personality interact with sociocultural factors to influence behavior? What makes people happy? What are the physical, mental, and social consequences of personalities?
