This course is an introduction to the field of psychology, which is the scientific study of human behavior and mental processes. We will begin by studying the major perspectives and research methods of psychology. We will then attempt to apply these perspectives and tools to survey several domains of psychology, during which we will discuss key debates and themes including: heredity and the environment, biological continuity and human uniqueness, conscious and unconscious experience, individual differences and universal principles, and individuals within society. Along the way, we will learn key concepts and principles that should improve your understanding of humans in general, including yourself.
