The course walks through five social psychology studies and asks what each result says about everyday decisions. Among the examples are how someone can be persuaded without being given good reasons, and how praising a child's intelligence rather than their effort changed later test performance. Each case is short enough to hold in mind and rich enough to argue about.
Beginners with a general curiosity about why people act as they do will find this an approachable entry point. Nothing beyond everyday reasoning is needed, and the pace suits a first look at the field.
The lectures close on the idea that small, carefully designed experiments can reveal a surprising amount about how we think and behave.

Carefully designed experiments tell us a great deal about the choices we make, the ways we behave, and why we think the way we do. I'm a social psychologist myself, and I thought about which studies most interested me early in my education and which studies are my current favorites. I even reached out to my colleagues to ask them what studies have most inspired them and are important for everyone to know about.
So enroll in this fun introductory course and start seeing how simple research in psychology tells us amazing things about human thought and behavior!
