The course aims at providing the scientific and disciplinary contents for understanding the individual and group processes affecting (and affected by) social psychological systems (e.g., individual differences, attitudes, communication, social interaction). The course aims also at providing the tools necessary to understand the contribution of applied social psychological science to address important social issues in real-life domains, such as health promotion, environmental education, and pro-sustainability human behaviour.
