PSY 2540 - Psychology of Peace and Cooperation
This lecture- and discussion-based course introduces undergraduate students to the ways in which psychology can be used to further the study of peace between individuals, groups, and societies. The course is divided into five sections: (1) What psychology can contribute to the study of peace; (2) The psychology of peace at the individual/dispositional level; (3) The psychology of peace at the interpersonal/relational level; (4) The psychology of peace at the intergroup/collective level; and (5) Achieving peace and building cooperation in society. Students gain a greater appreciation of both psychological theories related to peace and application of these theories to real-world issues (e.g., how peace can actually be achieved).
