Presents students with the study of factors that influence the behavior of individuals and groups in predictable ways. It provides a strong grounding in the traditional and emerging concerns of social psychology, including: group dynamics, social cognitions, cognitive dissonance stereotypes and prejudice, interpersonal relationships and attractions, attribution theory, self-justification and self-understanding, aggression, conformity, persuasion techniques, and conflict resolution. Students will also be presented with ways in which these social psychology factors influence and can serve as resources for their clinical work. (Formerly GRCP-838.)
