Inhalte:
In 328 B.C., Aristotle wrote that “man [sic] is by nature a social animal.” Since then, countless philosophers, poets, and stand-up comedians have mused about the intricacies of social aspects of humans thoughts, feelings, and actions. This course will give you a sampling of the core theories and topics of modern social psychology that are relevant to the psychology of decision making. This research covers self and identity, social beliefs and judgements, attitudes and behavior, conformity and obedience, persuasion, group influence, helping, and conflict peace making. The goal of the course is to give you a broader understanding of how deeply our decision making is influenced by our social surroundings, and how a scientific approach to explain human decision making can provide insights into the causes of (and perhaps even some cures for) a variety of current social problems based on faulty decision making.

There will be an exam—an in-class final exam in December 2023 covering the 8 chapters named above. The exam will consist of multiple-choice questions. The exam will count for 100% of your grade.

The presentation will take no longer than 15 min (plus a 5 min discussion). You can prepare the presentation alone or together with another student participating in the course.
