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 methodology borrowed from Cognitive Psychology. Each class will start with a lecture (1.5 – 2 hrs) followed by 2 or 3 student presentations (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.

In the first class, participants will pick one presentation topic question out of 20 questions across all topics covered in the course and will need to prepare for a 10 minute presentation. From the second class onwards, 2 or 3 participants will present their assignments one after another during the second half of each class. Two mini review papers must be handed in: one for the mid-term assessment, another for the final assessment.
