Introduction
This Program considers how social psychology can be applied to a wide range of social problems and answers key questions such as: How are attitudes formed and developed, and how do they relate to behavior? What are the key motives that affect people’s reactions to the social world? What social psychological processes are implicated in the form and content of language and communication?
You will gain a thorough grounding in research methods, and conduct a project in an area of social/applied psychology that interests you. The Program is taught by the School’s outstanding research group in social psychology.
Our teaching and research covers the psychology of intergroup behavior, group decision and performance, attitudes and persuasion, organizational psychology, social cognition, children’s self-concept and social attitudes, and cross-cultural questions, relating social psychological research in these areas to social problems. Course tutors include academics and experts who work in the media, the health service, and other applied settings.
