Social cognition investigates the dynamics of people's thoughts, flings, and behaviors as they occur in everyday social situations. Some of the key questions in social cognition research are: - How do people infer traits from the behavior of others? - How do various kinds of stereotypes and prejudice influence our judgments of and behavior towards others? What role does language play in communicating stereotypes? - Which factors shape how we think and feel about ourselves? - What is the influence of the unconscious in our everyday judgments and decisions? Social cognition thus challenges us to reassess our intuitions and preconceptions about our own and others' behavior. This course is about how we think (cognition) and feel (emotion) about others.
