PSYCHOLOGY
Psychology for Everyday Life
SPRING PN221
Tuesday - Belfield
Martina Carroll
This course opens up the world of emotions, human intelligence, creativity and identity. It will introduce you to some of the most recent research into the human mind and behaviour. It poses questions like “what does it mean to have a sense of self?” and “how does culture and modern life affect our inter-personal relationships?”. These topics have been chosen because they can help us understand ourselves and others. There will be a series of lectures each followed by an activity and discussion. The core topics are also important in a psychology degree and they touch on some of the most fascinating and often controversial issues.
