Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The current course aims to introduce Social Cognition as an integrative area in Psychology looking at various Social Psychology topics using the methods borrowed from Cognitive Psychology. Each class will start with a lecture (45 minutes) followed by 2 student presentations (10 minutes each; except the first introduction class). Students should expect to learn a broad picture of what areas Social Cognition research covers and what theories lie behind the main research findings. To some extent, students are also expected to contribute to build a connection between Social Cognition theories and everyday contexts of their own experience.
