Psychology 219GR - Topics in Social Psychology: 'Behavior Research in Intergroup Psychology'

across social identity groups. Behavioral research is construed widely here to include data that directly assesses behavior in lieu of self-reported perceptions of behavior. This distinction is critical as self-reported behavior is frequently a poor predictor of actual behavior. Increasingly, behavioral methods include the use of technology such as eye-tracking and virtual reality. While largely a content focused course, there will be some hands-on components which will expose students to intermediate level research methods and statistics, particularly as they are relevant to behavioral research.

Prereq: PSYCH-100 or AP Psychology.
