People make judgments about others, conform to (or resist) social norms, make efforts to be perceived in particular ways, persuade others, and find certain traits attractive. Social psychology explores the topics of attribution, social desirability, social influence, discrimination, and prejudice. Employing a variety of scientific methods, researchers in social psychology pursue explanations of our social behavior. This course examines the breadth of social psychology and its application in applied psychology and diversity studies.
