PSYC 5140G - Interpersonal Relations and Group Processes

In this course, we will explore the processes involved with how groups of people, and people who belong to different groups, relate to one another. Specifically, we will discuss how the groups that we belong to affect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours – particularly toward members of other groups. Highlighted groups will vary from semester to semester; we may focus on classic social groups (e.g., gender, race, religion) and/or minimal groups. We may also examine how theories and research in the field can be used to address social issues (e.g., racism) and influence social change.
