The course aims to provide students with a theoretical-critical knowledge of the foundations of social psychology. The historical-conceptual development of the discipline, its definition and the specificity of doing research in social psychology will be presented. For example, the themes related to self-perception, social perception, dynamics related to social influence will be explored with particular attention to conformism and dyadic and group interactions. At the end of the module the student should know the basic aspects of the discipline and be able to read with a psychosocial view the main dynamics that govern social functioning.

The module covers the following topics:

• Social perception
• Social Influence
• Groups and group interactions
• Aggressiveness
• Pro-social behaviour
• Forms and sources of prejudice
• Conflict and conflict resolution
In addition, further insights (scientific articles) aimed at considering specific aspects associated not only to perception of the social world but also to communication will be presented and discussed.
