Examination: The assessment of the learning outcomes will be made through multiple choice and open ended questions. The final assessment will take into account the capacity of identifying the main theories and empirical findings in social psychology and attitude-behavior studies, and the processes guiding social interaction, social behavior and attitudes. The final grade will be attributed as a function of the number of correct answers in multiple choice tests and of the accuracy of the elaboration about the main theories and authors in the open-ended questions.
