PSYCH 4830
Course Description
Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.
This course reviews core findings and recent advances in social neuroscience-a growing interdisciplinary area that merges theories and methods across neruoscience and social psychology. We will focus on how neuroscience approaches help address classic questions of social psychology from new and informative angles and how studying social phenomena can advance our understanding of neuroscience. The course will give you a broad background in social neuroscience so that you may (a) be a critical consumer of this literature, (b) broaden the way you think about connections between the mind, brain, and behavior in the context of the social world, and (c) apply these ideas to inform your own ideas and future research in psychology. We will explore these questions through a mix of review articles, in-depth analyses of select empirical studies, and discussions of their implications.
