Course Description:
This module provides students with an introduction to three key areas of psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Biological Psychology, and Personality Psychology. The areas covered in PS124 can change from year to year, so students are advised to check the School of Psychology website in early September of the year of study to ascertain the exact content for that year. Social Psychology is the study of the individual and the way that the situation (the environment) and disposition (the person) interact to determine behavior. Biological Psychology is concerned with the biological influences on human emotion and behaviour and the way that biology, psychology and the environment interact to shape human action. Personality Psychology attempts to build up a picture of the individual, based on his/her traits and characteristics, and how these characteristics shape cognition, behaviour and motivation. Together these three areas of psychology, and those covered in PS122, have made significant contributions
