PSYC 430 - Seminar in Social Conflict 3 SS
Second Semester. Through an investigation of research and theory from the fields of social, cognitive and political psychology, this course explores the psychological processes that lead to and exacerbate conflict. It also examines biases in perceiving the “other,” the role of pride and face-saving, the influence of social identity, and shortcomings in decision-making. We will also explore methods of de-escalating conflict, negotiation as problem-solving, the process of mediation and the role of gender and culture in negotiation.
