The Individual & Society: An Introduction to Social Psychology (SOC 272)
Fall 2026, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2:00 – 3:30 p.m.
Gen Ed Requirement: Social and Behavioral Sciences
How do the people around you influence and even shape the way you think, the way you feel, the way you behave? How do individuals relate to one another within the groups in which they participate? And what impact do group dynamics have on their members as well as on the world around them? In this course, we introduce the field of social psychology from a sociological perspective as we examine topics such as self and identity, socialization, emotions, attitudes and prejudice, group and collective behavior, and deviance and social control.
