PSY 101 Introduction to Psychology
This class will provide a basic introduction to the history and practice of psychology - the study of human behavior. We will examine the history of psychological theory from Freud to the present day. Some emphasis will be placed on the biological elements of psychology such as sensation, perception, learning, and memory. However, the majority of course time will be spent on social psychology and understanding the needs and challenges of the individual in society. Human relationships and interpersonal qualities such as marriage and intimacy, attitudes, aggression, group psychology, and self-perception will be explored.
