This course aims in particular to enable the student to observe, analyse and interpret in a more objective ("scientific") way "To be aware of the limits of a personal "psychologising" interpretation of human behaviour.
The course is divided into 3 parts. The first part will present the origins of the discipline (how it developed from philosophy and natural sciences), the specificities of the scientific approach in psychology (research methodology) and the different currents of psychology (and its clinical applications). The second part will constitute the major part of the course. It will introduce the student to the fundamental concepts of social psychology: impression formation, causal attribution, influence and manipulation, social norms, conformism, intergroup relations (stereotypes, prejudice, discrimination), submission to authority. Finally, the third part will briefly address some notions frequently associated with the business world such as: emotions, motivation and stress.
