Pełny opis: (tylko po angielsku)

This course will consist of 30 hours of lecture, which will introduce the social psychological understanding of human cognition, affect and behavior and 30 hours of seminar during which students will be encouraged to use the theoretical knowledge provided during the lecture in a practical manner.

During the lecture, social cognition and intergroup relations subfields will be of focal interest – and the social identity framework will be used as a main interpretative framework to understand human social behavior. The lecture will provide students with a background in classic and modern social psychological theories, as well as opportunities to interpret the real-life problems within the theoretical framework of social psychology.

The seminar is as an elaboration of the Social Psychology lecture. The seminar will be based mostly on the readings given in the syllabus. Students will be encouraged to work consistently through the whole semester, by writing reflection papers on the readings mentioned in the syllabus and bigger essays based on the knowledge from the course. The goal of the course is to find different explanations of human behavior in given social situations.
