PSYC 400N - Seminar in Social Influence

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Psychology

Description:

In this seminar, students will examine the many sources of social influence. These influences include, but are not limited to, the media, politics, persuasion, compliance, obedience, conformity, and culture. We will also take an in-depth look into some of the early social psychological studies that examined social influence. These include the Milgram obedience studies, the Stanford Prison study, and the Robber's Cave study. Students will participate in field experiences that will explore sources of social influence in our own society. Students who have taken the Psychology of Social Influence at the 300 level in the past should not take this course.
