PSYC 367 - Advanced Social Psychology

Perhaps more than anything else, people think about other people- the people with whom they are close, those who shape conceptions of the self, motivate behavior, and produce strong emotional reactions. The field of social psychology is devoted to understanding how people feel about, think about, and interact with others. This advanced social psychology seminar offers an in-depth analysis of four topic areas within the field of social psychology including the study of close relationships, the self, motivation, and emotion. This course focuses on theory and research findings relevant to a) the factors that lead people to develop and maintain close relationships; b) the factors and processes that contribute to self-esteem; c) the factors and processes that underlie pursuit of goals and self-regulation; and d) the effects of experiencing and regulating positive and negative emotions.
