Introduction

This course takes you on a journey into one of the most dynamic realms of psychology - specifically, the exploration of how the brain shapes and enables our social and affective behaviors. We will examine key questions, such as how we learn from each other, when and in what ways social norms influence us, and how our communication and social decision-making unfold.
