Psychology of Judgment & Decision Making: Course Description
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.
