Course Title:
Human Risk - PSY00059H
Course Number:
PSY00059H
Course Description:
The future of life hinges on human thinking and behaviour. This basic insight puts psychology at the crossroads between extinction and flourishing. When the stakes are high and the risks are growing, what does the science have to say? Navigating risks is more than just crunching the numbers. Decades of research in cognitive science has shown that understanding risk involves grappling with individual differences, context, and societal factors. In this module, we will examine these factors, achieving an up-to-date overview on the psychology of risk, and asking how a scientific approach can help us survive the most important century.
