Course Description:
This course offers an introductory exploration of the field of social psychology, the study of human interaction. Humans are social beings who thrive on healthy connections with others. Studying these connections, interactions, and their resulting impacts on individuals' mindsets and behaviors provides us with a deeper and more nuanced comprehension of ourselves both as individuals and as a collective society. This course approaches its content through the lens of sociological theory and includes non-traditional concepts, and includes the significance of status, power in relationships, labelling theory, affect and behavior, symbolic interactionism, ethnomethodology, and group dynamics (such as leadership and group evaluation).
