A lecture-laboratory course that introduces the theory and research relating the behavior of individual humans to factors in the social environment. Topics, chosen to represent the scope of social psychology, include attitude formation and change, conformity, affiliation and attraction, altruism, aggression, prejudice and group dynamics. Prerequisite: Psychology 100 or 101; if taken for laboratory credit, Psychology 205.

Personality theories provide a framework with which to understand a person's development, motivation and behavior. This course examines traditional and contemporary theories of personality focusing on representative theorists from the psychoanalytic, trait, behavioral, cognitive and phenomenological approaches. Evaluation of theories on logical and empirical grounds is discussed.

This course is intended to describe and explain the changes in behavior that occur with the passage of time from conception until death. While emphasis is placed on the early years of most rapid change, appropriate topics are covered throughout the life span. As the mature individual is a product not only of his or her own history, but also of the history of other species, there is some discussion of evolutionary theory and developmental data gathered on other species.
