PSYCH 4810 - Advanced Social Psychology

Fall. 4 credits.

Priority given to senior psychology majors. Co-meets with PSYCH 6810.

D. T. Regan.

The focus is on current readings, namely selected articles from very recent issues of the best social psychological journals. Readings are chosen for their importance, their readability, and the likelihood that they will generate stimulating discussion. Students write brief “thought papers” before each class in which they offer suggestions for class discussion based on their close reading of the day’s assigned articles. They also write a term paper on a social psychological topic of their own choosing. No exams.
