授業の概要

Psychology studies all aspects of human behaviour and mental processes, and so the discipline is of particular relevance to everyone. This introductory psychology course attempts to survey some of the more interesting findings from psychological research, which provide valuable insights into human nature.

科目目的

The course covers the following five broad areas of psychology.
(1) The area of action addresses the basic question of why do we act as we do by looking at the biological basis of behavior and learning.
(2) The area of cognitions addresses the basic question of how do we know what we know. The section includes classes on perception, memory and language.
(3) The area of social behavior addresses the basic question of how do we interact with each other and considers both the behavioral and cognitive aspects.
(4) The area of development addresses the basic question of how do we develop throughout the lifespan. The section looks to both cognitive development in children and issues of social development.
(5) The area of individual difference addresses the basic question of how do we differ from others and covered both personality, intelligence and mental disorders.

到達目標

This course aims to provide an introductory overview of psychology. As such, it can be regarded as being foundational for the cultural psychology course [offered in the autumn semester course], where many aspects of psychology are reexamined from a cultural psychology perspective. Accordingly, students interested in taking the cultural psychology course in the autumn are recommended to also take this course in preparation.
