Description: This
pyschology course enables us to promote an
awareness of and respect for the pychological
diversity of human beings with the reference to
their biological, social, and cultural influences.
Students will develop an appreciation of the broad
scope of pyschology, as well as an understanding of
the different theoretical approaches utilized in
understanding behavior. They will be able to
describe, compare, and evaluate the key ideas of
all four of pyschology's major perspectivesm as
well as the historical and cultural contexts in
which each developed. Students will be introduced
to scientific methodology used in psychological
inquiry, demonstrate their ability to design,
conduct, and report a simple experiment, as well as
review ethical practices and responsibilities
essential to such inquiry. Ultimately, they will
explore the practical applications of psychology
and demonstrate the relevance of psychology to
daily life, from the individual level to the global
level representing an international
perspective.
