PSY 3410

This course is designed to demonstrate the dynamic nature of social psychology by following the development , questioning, and demise of social psychological concepts and methodologies (e.g., obedience in the Stanford Prison Experiment, questioning the use of eye witness testimony in the legal system, the replication "crisis", the emergence of social neuroscience). We will also dive more deeply into topics chosen by the students. Students will engage in semester-long "Curiosity Projects" , exploring how to apply social psychological principles to understanding "wicked problems/questions"
