| Contents | The course will deal with the fundamental topics of Social Psychology starting from the presentation of the main theories and illustrating their applications to the main phenomena of human-social behavior. Particular emphasis will be given to current issues such as: sexism, xenophobic behaviour, violence and possible interventions to combat certain forms of behavior which can lead to social deviance. Particular attention will be paid to aspects of violence within emotional and family relationships, addressing issues of parental conflict and allegations of violence, the factors underlying violent behavior, and the legal and social consequences of deviance. Reducing the risk of recidivism will also be addressed. |

Application of knowledge: allow the student to acquire psychosocial reading skills of events relating to human functioning (stereotypes, prejudices, group relations, conformism, social influence). Autonomy of judgement: the student will be able to integrate the knowledge acquired at a theoretical level with the specificity of concrete cases to understand human functioning. Communication: the student will acquire specific terminology that will allow him to communicate with interlocutors who are specialists (and non-specialists) in the sector and/or in an interdisciplinary manner. Ability to learn: the student will develop the ability to independently study and search for specialist material in the sector, also through the use of bibliographic research in sector databases, and psychosocial research. The main objective of the course is that students master the specialized language of the discipline and that they have acquired the main theoretical paradigms and methodological assumptions underlying psychosocial behavior and both basic and applied psychosocial research. Another expected objective is the ability to recognize the main motivational and cognitive processes that are activated in intra- and intergroup interaction |
