Psychological & Brain Sciences 366 - GroupProcesses&IntergroupRel

This course provides students with an overview of psychological theories on group processes and intergroup relations. Through an exploration of both classic and contemporary theories and specific research studies, we will examine how people are influenced as members of groups, how they interact with members of other groups, and how they perceive and respond to the intergroup contexts in which they live. The course will consist primarily of lectures, with opportunities for large-group and small-group discussions in response to films and class exercises. This course has been designed for students to explore a variety of perspectives concerning how people perceive, evaluate, and interact with each other as members of different groups. Satisfies Criteria 2 and 3 of the Integrative Experience requirement for PSYCH majors.
