This introductory course is designed to provide a broad, yet insightful, glimpse into different areas of psychology. Students will learn about how psychology can help explain humans’ individual personalities, as well as group dynamics. The class will explore the influence of geography on psychology, and what psychology can learn by becoming more cross-cultural. For the student who is taking their first step into the world of psychology to those who are looking to deepen their existing knowledge, these discussions around classic studies, as well as the presentation of novel research findings, promise something new and exciting for everyone.
