This course provides an overview of major subject areas in psychological science. We will explore several areas of psychology in two key ways: by understanding how scientific knowledge and principles are generated and evaluated and by exploring the implications of psychology’s findings. Principles of scientific investigation, including scientific theories, hypotheses, methods, and evaluating results will be applied to the study of human behavior and experience, spanning content areas ranging from cellular to ecological, including biological psychology, sensation, perception, human development, cognition, learning, motivation, emotion, stress, and social processes. We will also apply this knowledge and these skills to psychology and other subjects. The course is designed to prepare students for future psychology classes and to enhance critical thinking skills for other academic studies, for careers, and for everyday life.
