Description

Social Psychology is the scientific study of social variables on an individual's behavior, attitudes, perceptions, and motives. In this course, the learner will have the opportunity to specifically explore how we distort reality. They will be able to evaluate their self control with the respect to others along with their levels of conformity and obedience. They can test strong emotions such as altruism, aggression and passion in different scenarios. The course ends with a look at prejudice and the importance of great leadership within groups
