Goals of the Course | | This course will explore human psychology—the science of how people think, feel, and behave—at the global and international levels. By the course’s end, students will learn how to analyze and discuss the psychological mechanisms underlying topics such as diplomacy, international relations, social movements, and intergroup relationships. [Note: A background in psychology is not required to take the course.]
We will first explore global (i.e., worldwide) psychology by posing a big picture question: (1) What are the universal patterns of human emotion, thought, and behavior? For example, we will debate whether basic emotions such as fear and cognitive biases such as ingroup favoritism are found in every human society. Next, we will turn our attention to the flipside of universality: individual differences. Specifically, we will explore how differences in personality (e.g., optimism, extraversion), values (e.g., individuality, collectivism), and political preferences originate—at least in part—as a product of our different cultures. That is, we will ask (2) How does culture shape the human mind?
In the second half of the course, we will explore international (“between nation”) psychology. Here we will begin by asking (3) What are the psychological effects of living in modern nation states? For example, we will explore how living in developing vs. developed countries alters one’s psyche (both for the better and the worse). Finally, we will explore the question: (4) How is the institution of psychology developing internationally? For example, we will explore the organizations (e.g., American Psychological Association) that currently exist to regulate psychological science and treat mental illness. Likewise, we will discuss international differences in the incidence of various forms of psychopathology such as depression and autism spectrum disorder. |
