Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The current course is designed to help students understand implications of Social Cognition theories and broaden knowledge on research findings in the relevant topics. In the past few decades, Social Cognition researchers have made a major breakthrough enriching the fields of Social and Cognitive Psychology. In the current course, students will read and discuss research papers ranging from classic milestone papers to recent findings in Social Cognition. Each class begins with a summary lecture of the topic followed by discussions on the research papers assigned for each seminar.

Students are expected to write a research proposal on a chosen topic. The proposal must be comprised of a line of studies investigating a research question. The final research proposal will help guide students who plan to pursue conducting studies on the relevant topic of their choice.
