In this lecture, we first look at aspects of developmental, personality, cognitive and motivational psychology that are fundamental to social cognition and social action. We then look at core social psychological topics such as attitudes, stereotypes and prejudices as well as the attribution of behavior to a person or situation. Finally, we look at various facets of behavior in social contexts. These include more positive phenomena such as group processes and assistance, but also disturbing phenomena such as aggression, conformity and obedience. We often use examples from history, politics and literature and rely primarily on experimental findings.

Further information on the teaching of the research group this semester can be found on the homepage of the Department of General Psychology.

The lecture is only offered in the winter semester.

In this lecture, the basics of empirical-analytical sociology are taught and applied to elementary social processes and phenomena. In order to enable an explanation of collective phenomena, a macro-micro-macro model is used in this lecture. In this model, collective phenomena are understood as an (unintended) consequence of individual action and the actions of the actors are simultaneously linked to social structures.

Please register in KIS to receive further information.
