Spring teaching
This module will provide you with an overview of major theories, methods, research findings and debates in social psychology.
You will examine classic studies and current findings. You’ll also evaluate published research reports relating to interpersonal, intragroup and intergroup processes.
You’ll review topics such as:
- social influence
- group membership and identity
- prejudice and collective behaviour
- and the psychology of culture.
We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.
We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
