Social Psychology

Social psychology is the study of the mental operations that underlie individuals' perceptions of, influence over, and interactions with other people.  Students may take a variety of undergraduate courses in social psychology, and may apply for graduate studies specializing in social psychology.  The graduate program trains Ph.D. students in theory, research and teaching in preparation for academic careers. The graduate program provides intensive training in research methods, statistical analysis, and a wide range of theoretical perspectives focusing on how thinking, feeling, and behavior influence and are influenced by the actual or imagined presence of others. The program has a particular emphasis on relationships, social cognition, and evolution.
