| Department: | Psychology |
| Description: | FACE TO FACE COURSE. NOT AVAILABLE TO VIRTUAL LEARNERS. 2ND HALF SEMESTER Sometimes it seems that we live in a world of conspiracy theories. They run rampant through news feeds and social media. They emanate from the mouths of politicians, celebrities, and our own friends and family. This course will explore the psychological science of conspiracy theories, which seem at once both preposterous and irresistible. Where do they come from? Who believes in them? What are their effects on individual behavior and public discourse? And can we - and should we - do anything about them? This course is likely to appeal to students with interests in social and/or cognitive psychology. 2nd Half-Semester course. |
