Program

Module: PSICOLOGIA SOCIALE E DEI GRUPPI
-------
The Social and Group Psychology works in several areas of individual and collective life in which psychological processes are structured with the practical activities of people, and the dynamics of organizations and social institutions.

The course offers an overview of Social and Group Psychology, explaining in a systematic way the different theories and describing empirical results achieved over the years. The analysis will take place either at the basic processes of social life (such as those involved in cognition, emotion, communication, motivation and action), or at the level of phenomena that these processes are working to build in the social-interaction area (attitudes, prejudices, social representations, social influence, self and identity construction).

Main topics:

Key concepts of Social and Group Psychology - Origin and development of Social Psychology - Knowledge and representation of the social world - The interpersonal dimension - The group dimension - The organizational dimension - Social Influence - Problems related to theoretical and methodological choices in psychosocial research.

Teaching methods: traditional lessons integrated with active learning.
