| General description |
This subject tries to introduce the student to the conceptual, historical, and theoretical aspects in the origin of social psychology, analyzing a number of perspectives for the study of the interaction between the individual and the group. In addition, the instruction in the psychosocial processes contributing to the explanation of collective behavior and the social interaction is also another objective, with a special focus on psychosocial processes as social perception, social identity, attribution, and social cognition. The course will analyze real and symbolic contexts where human behavior takes place, recognizing the importance of the context and the distinctivity of the level of psychosocial analysis for explaining social behavior in a multicultural and globalized society. Variables and dimensions allowing the understanding of interaction between the environment and human behavior will be also explained, including a description of the role of the environment in the explanation of human behavior, an analysis of environmental psychology theories, a connection between theory and practise, and an explanation of the utility of environmental psychology approaches in sustainability and well-being policies, with a special focus on the prediction of pro-environmental behavior.
