SPECIAL TOPIC: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF INTER-GROUP RELATIONSThis course is designed to provide an advanced overview of theories and empirical research on the social psychology of intergroup relations. In the first part of the course, we will discuss the various forms of intergroup biases (i.e. stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination) before covering the blatant, subtle, and even non-conscious ways in which these biases can manifests themselves. In the second part of the course, we will discuss the motivational, cognitive, affective, and evolutionary factors underlying intergroup bias before shedding light on how intergroup biases impact the self conceptions of members of stigmatized groups. And finally, the course will transition to better understanding the ways in which intergroup bias and conflict can be reduced and how national unity can be achieved in an increasingly multicultural world.
Subject to approval of the Head of Department
