Prejudice, a biased attitude toward people due to their group membership, continues to pose a serious threat to society. It can exist at both an explicit and/or implicit (hidden) level and seems to serve several fundamental psychological functions, making it difficult to eradicate. In this course, we will explore prejudice using a scientific lens and attempt to answer some crucial questions- Why does prejudice exist? Where does it come from? What forms does it take? How has it evolved throughout history? What functions does it serve?and What can we do to eradicate it?

This course explores the developmental changes that take place during a newly documented developmental period, emerging adulthood, which spans the ages of 18 to the late 20s. Over the course of the semester, we will investigate several questions about this developmental period by turning to the psychological literature, including: (1) What does it mean to be an adult? (2) What developmental changes are taking place during the college-age years? (3) Does being an emerging adult give one a "free pass" on deviant behaviors? (4) How does the current generation of college students differ from previous generations?
