PSYC 334 - The Psychology of Social Change

Institution:
Clark University
Subject:
Description:
This graduate-level seminar examines social change behaviors from both personality and social psychology perspectives. Taking a broad and integrative approach, the course will explore contemporary psychological theories and consider the following questions: What individual- and structural-level explanations have personality and social psychologists proposed to explain social change behaviors? What conceptual linkages can we make (or not make) between different theoretical and empirical areas of the field, and their epistemological roots? Although we will focus on recent psychological perspectives, we will also draw on earlier texts from personality and social psychology, as well as sociology and political science, in order to understand current psychological inquiry into social change commitments across a variety of contexts. Topics will include the roles of personality and emotion in social change behaviors, structural antecedents, identity, and crowd behavior.
