INTRODUCTION TO SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY

Professor Jessica Collett, Ph.D.

Sociology
University of Notre Dame

Course Structure: 75 Minutes Classes - two times a week

"Who's Talking to Whom?"  Vojko Kalan, 2008.

Course Description

The overarching goal of this class is to provide students with a working knowledge of social psychology and to stimulate an interest in ourselves, the world around us, and the connections between the two. This is a course about how we become who we are - how our personalities (or our selves) are shaped by others, the groups we belong to, the social structures around us, and our interactions as social beings. However, interaction is a process between entities, a two-way street. Hence, it is not only about how the world around us shapes who we are, but also a course about how we shape the groups that we belong to and the social structures around us.
