SEMINAR IN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY

See on Course Listings
Psychological & Brain Sciences 593 | Fall, 2018
In this seminar, we will examine a number of contemporary topics in stereotyping and prejudice that have occupied the attention of psychologists over the last 10-15 years. The main focus of the seminar will be on the underlying cognitive and affective processes that govern the expression vs. inhibition of category-based associations. A sample of topics that might be included are: prototype vs. exemplar based models of social categories, the role of automaticity vs. control and methods for teasing these mechanisms apart, "explicit" vs. "implicit" measures of stereotyping, the role of private vs. public settings in regulating stereotype use, ironic effects of suppression, stereotype change, among other topics. Along the way we shall consider research and theory drawing from other areas, including cognitive psychology, personality, and political science. Readings will draw mainly from empirical articles and book chapters. PREREQ: Graduate standing in psychology or permission from instructor.
