Overview
The development of our life is embedded in a series of actions and interactions with others. Every day we meet and communicate with familiar and unfamiliar people, enter social situations with short-term immediate goals, and these are linked to broader long-term goals and ultimately to more fundamental motives (such as establishing social ties, understanding ourselves and others, gaining and maintaining status, defending ourselves and those we value, and attracting and so on). The course aims to examine our everyday social behavior and show the main psycho-social processes and the key factors shaping human acting, feeling, and thinking. A special focus will be on the role played by the culture in influencing the way we think of ourselves and act with others.
