This module will introduce students to key concepts and ideas in the discipline of psychology. We start by investigating a brief history of psychology; learning about significant theorists and exploring psychological methods. We then investigate fundamental topics in psychology through four of the core perspectives in the field, namely: developmental, biological, social and cognitive psychology. The module encourages students to begin to think about links between psychology and other related disciplines in the Social Sciences. Topics which will be covered include: relationships, mental health, persuasion, identity and parenting. Throughout, we draw on past experiments and theories from an array of global scholars, as well as real life examples, to demonstrate how relevant psychology is in our day-to-day lives.
