See moreIn this course, I cover:
1. Introduction to psychology. Definitions of psychology and the scientific method. Introduction to the 3 main paradigms of psychology (psychoanalysis, behaviorism, cognitivism).
2. Introduction to attribution theories. Definition of an attribution. Introduction to the main attribution model (Weiner, 1985). Introduction to the models of the naive scientist (Jones & Davis, 1965; Kelley, 1967) and the cognitive miser (Gilbert, Pelham & Krull, 1988); Kelley & Michela, 1980).
3. Introduction to cognitive and social categorization, social identity theory, stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. Definition and functions of cognitive categorization. Definition and functions of social categorization. Introduction to self-categorization and social identity theories. Definition and functions of stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination, with ways to identify them and mitigate their undesirable effects.
Throughout the course, I engage in flipped classroom practices, such as sharing the fully written course materials at the beginning of the semester. I also strive to bring contemporary social events into the classroom so that students can apply the many theories and concepts to propose a social psychological understanding of the social world. I also have students suggest final exam questions in each class of the semester to get them generating good questions and to help them clarify their thoughts.

Behavioral insights and public policy
Lecturer
See moreI would be happy to design a course on applied behavioral insights and public policy. It would cover a range of methods and frameworks for analyzing and offering suggestions for public policy, from a behavioral science and social-cognitive perspective. If you would like to organize this course for your academic program, please contact me :).
