PSY 7530 - Social Psychology of the Self
The main goal of this course is for graduate students to gain expert knowledge about the psychology of the self, including how the self is constructed, maintained and regulated. This will be accomplished via lecture, and through reading classic and contemporary works in this area. One manifestation of students’ mastering the material is their ability to take over the class for an hour and lead a class discussion on a selected topic. A final paper is required to demonstrate their mastery of the material; this involves either a critical review of one of the topics covered in the course or a research proposal on the topic. Upon completion of the course, students should be in a position to design research related to the psychology of the self and should also be able to teach this material to undergraduates.
