Overview
This unit will introduce students to the scientific discipline of psychology and provide a foundation of understanding in several key topic areas.
Specifically, we will cover topics such as personality, motivation, emotion, sensation and perception and social psychology. Students will also examine how psychologists acquire further knowledge and test their understanding of the way in which individuals think, feel, and behave. This will involve an introduction to research methodology (e.g., research design, descriptive statistics, and inferential statistics).
