Abstract
Description
Psychology, the study of behavior and mental processes, is extremely broad in its perspective and involves contributions from disciplines as diverse as biology, philosophy, chemistry, sociology, and anthropology. In this course, Introduction to Psychology, we will review key concepts in the realms of developmental, clinical, neuroscience/cognitive, and social psychology. Both readings and lectures will focus on these areas. When you leave this course you will have been exposed to many of the “facts” (vs.myths) that make up the study of psychology, and, perhaps more importantly, you will also acquire the scientific perspective concerning how the field collects and interprets these facts. Apart from exposing you to a new base of knowledge, at the conclusion of this course you will also hopefully have transformed, to some extent, your intuitive sense of yourself and those around you into an understanding that is more factually and scientifically driven.
