Psychology 229 - Social Cognition

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

How do we think about people? In this course, students explore how people reason about and understand both other people and themselves. Topics include memory about people, impression formation, attitudes and stereotypes, development of the social self, development of social thought, and automatic social behavior. Throughout the course, students consider whether thinking about people is an extension of more general modes of thought that are simply applied to people, or whether thinking and reasoning about people comprise a unique set of psychological processes. Readings include classic and current works in social cognition, including original empirical papers and work from the emergent field of social cognitive neuroscience. Prerequisite: Students must have completed Psychology 103.
