An Introduction to Social Psychology (Accredited Module)

Social psychology can be defined as the study of how individuals are influenced by others. This module introduces key topics including attitudes, groups, conformity, prejudice and aggression. You will develop understanding of issues, debates and perspectives by first developing your understanding of ‘self’ in the social world. This then makes sense of subjects such as group behaviours, aggression, prejudice and discrimination, why we are attracted to certain others, what contributes to our first impressions of others, and what influences our ‘helping’ behaviour. Join us as we explore our behaviour in the social world.
