PSYCH 322A - Applying Principles of Group Influence

This course will review social psychology theory and research in intra- and intergroup processes with the goal of improving health and other socially important outcomes. Students will learn how group behavior – both within and between groups – can impinge upon common outcomes and, more centrally, how such behavior may be harnessed to improve these outcomes. Moreover, students will learn how to apply this content to actual health and socially relevant contexts. Throughout the course, examples of group and interpersonal influences will be drawn from past and ongoing real-world health and social change interventions.
