Module Objectives:
The Social Psychology II module will explore social relations dynamics and sociocultural influences that shape human behavior. With a focus on prejudice, aggression, prosocial behavior, and intimate relationships, students will learn how the interactions between groups and cultures influence individual behaviors and decisions. The course will also provide theoretical tools to understand how culture and communication shape social relations and identity.
Educational objectives
In terms of knowledge and understanding: The module will allow students to acquire knowledge and skills about psychological phenomena that influence inter-group relations, such as prejudice and aggression, and prosocial behaviors. They will also delve into the role of culture in communication and intimate relationships, exploring psychological theories that explain these phenomena.
In terms of the ability to apply knowledge: Students will develop practical skills to apply psychological theories to real contexts, addressing issues such as intergroup conflicts, aggression and the promotion of prosocial behaviors. They will be able to use this knowledge to improve social dynamics and relationships between individuals.
In terms of the ability to make independent judgments: The teaching activity, which will also include the use of the online platform, will offer students opportunities to develop autonomous judgments on the social and ethical implications of intergroup dynamics and cultural behaviors. They will critically evaluate cultural differences and how they influence social interactions.
In terms of communication skills: Students will learn to effectively communicate social psychology concepts, especially with regard to intergroup relations and sociocultural influences, using clear and understandable scientific language.
In terms of learning capacity: The module will encourage students to develop an autonomous approach to learning, using scientific literature to deepen the topics covered and applying the knowledge acquired in academic and professional contexts, such as in intercultural dynamics and in everyday social relationships.
