Social psychology stream
Social psychology examines the connections between aspects of people’s psychology–like attitudes, goals, values, group memberships, self-identity, culture and personality–and their social contexts and natural environments.
You’ll learn about theories that explain and predict people’s social thinking, motivation, feelings and behaviours in their social and natural worlds.
Courses in this stream will help you develop skills essential for careers in psychology-related disciplines and many other career and life pursuits. You’ll learn about:
- Social-psychological approaches to leadership, mentoring, team work and co-operation.
- Evidence-based methods of self-motivation, coaching, goal setting and self-regulation.
- Communication and conflict resolution skills.
- Sensitivity to diversity.
