Course Information
Description
Year-long lab course exploring how cognition, affect, neural responses, and behavior change when social relations shift from "me and you" to "us and them." Students will participate in experiment development and data collection employing methods ranging from standard laboratory experiments, implicit and explicit self-reports, and behavioral measures, to fMRI and psychophysiology. Students will also read and discuss papers on intergroup relations in our weekly meetings.
