Description:

Health Psychology Fall 2008. Three credits. Lisa Rubin This course provides an overview of the rapidly growing field of health psychology. We examine current research to understand how biological, psychological, and social factors influence health outcomes, with a particular focus on chronic and life-threatening illness (e.g., cancer, AIDS, diabetes, hypertension, and chronic pain conditions). We explore the role of psychologists and psychological research in prevention, early detection, and adaptation to illness, and students learn specific psychological and behavioral interventions relevant for clinical work with individuals facing health concerns. Consideration is given to gender and cultural factors that influence health behaviors, access and utilization of health-related resources, and health outcomes. GPSY 6314 Political Psychology Spring 2009. Three credits. Jeremy Ginges This course critically examines important and timely political issues from a psychological perspective. We will survey research and theory within social psychology to gain insight into issues such as inter-ethic conflict, warfare, genocide, and conflict resolution.
