Introduction
The lectures examine aspects of overt social behaviour, such as two‐person encounters, behaviour in small and large groups and inter‐group relations. Research in social cognition, which studies people’s perceptions and interpretations of the social world, will also be presented. Lecture topics include: attribution theory, decision‐making, and social dilemmas; social aspects of emotion; the development and measurement of attitudes; aggression; pro‐social behaviour; and prejudice. Practicals provide experience in social psychological research, placing an emphasis on the areas covered in lectures, and the applied nature of social psychology is emphasised throughout the unit.
