Psy 1001 Introduction to Psychology

Grading basis/credits:   4 credit(s)

Equivalencies:   Credit will not be granted if credit has been received for: PSY 1001H

Description:  Psy 1001 (4 credits),a prerequisite for all advanced Psychology courses, introduces the scientific study of human behavior and mind. Students meet three times a week for multi-media megaclass lectures given by a team of faculty and once a week in small activity-oriented discussion sections. The course focuses on scientific explanations and real world examples of how individuals understand and make sense of their world and experiences. We focus on the problems, methods and research findings of psychology and introduce students to the biological basis of behavior; physical, emotional and cognitive development; models of learning, memory, and representation of the world; individual differences in personality and intelligence; abnormal behavior and treatment and social influences on individual behavior. In addition, Psy 1001 has a writing component to encourage students in the skills of academic discourse. Eight times during the term each section of students participate in an on-line discussion of a controversy in Psychology and write a brief paper summarizing their conversation. The skills practice include developing a hypothesis, providing supporting evidence, critically evaluating the evidence provided by others, listening and responding respectfully to the conclusions and evidence of others.

Psy 1905 Freshman Seminar: What is the Human Mind?

Grading basis/credits:   A-F only, 3 credit(s)

Prereq:   freshman

Description:  You are reading the description of a seminar. That is, some part of you is capable of taking a series of shapes as visual input, abstracting intended meaning from them, organizing the information, and evaluating it (e.g., ?fascinating seminar!?). Your mind accomplishes this task, not your lungs or heart. What is this ?mind? that is capable of such complex internal information processing? Is it just a flurry of activated brain cells, or something non-physical? One of the most intriguing aspects of the universe is that you can think, that minds operate as entities apparently crucially tied to physical brains but are also importantly different. In this seminar, we will examine conceptions of the human mind from psychological, philosophical, and neuroscientific perspectives. Can science and critical analysis offer a concrete and compelling specification of the human mind?

Psy 1905 Freshman Seminar: Psychology of Eating and Body Image

Grading basis/credits:   A-F only, 3 credit(s)

Prereq:   freshman

Description:  This seminar covers the continuum of human eating behavior, from hunger, starvation, and restraint, to binge eating and obesity, as well as body image and eating disorders. I hope that during this seminar we can call into question several myths about eating and obesity that you may believe. We will discuss the media?s influence on body image, as well as the development of body image concerns and eating disorders. We will read about the famous starvation study conducted on this very campus over 60 years ago, as well as the causes and consequences of obesity. We will learn about the effectiveness of diets (or lack thereof!), and about the little things that may be influencing our eating without our realizing it. We will talk about solutions to these problems, and about what healthy eating really is.

Psy 3101 Introduction to Personality

Grading basis/credits:   3 credit(s)

Equivalencies:   Credit will not be granted if credit has been received for: PSY 5101

Prereq:   1001

Description:  This course provides a broad overview of theory and research in the field of personality psychology. Personality psychology addresses some of the most central and interesting questions in psychology: Why do people think, feel, and act in the ways they do? What makes people different from each other? What are the essential components of an individual?s personality? This course discusses answers to these questions as they have been formulated from the beginnings of psychology, over a century ago, up to the present time, drawing on up-to-date research to suggest which theories are likely to be empirically valid. Students should get a sense of the various approaches to personality psychology as different perspectives integrated into a larger story about the extent of our understanding of the structure, dynamics, and sources of personality.

Psy 3604 Introduction to Abnormal Psychology

Grading basis/credits:   3 credit(s)

Equivalencies:   Credit will not be granted if credit has been received for: PSY 5604H

Prereq:   1001

Description:  This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policies, including fee and financial aid information. The field of abnormal psychology (also known as psychopathology) is diverse, as you can see by leafing through the textbook for this course. It includes such topics as bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress syndrome, AIDS dementia complex, pedophilia, stuttering, and pathological gambling. Each of these areas, as well as hundreds of others, has its own specialists and research. This course will provide you with a complete, although certainly not exhaustive, overview of each area. As instructor, my aim is to acquaint you with a coherent body of knowledge in a very large and ever-expanding field in which new developments occur daily. One of the things I have to accept as I write this course is that, by the time you read it, some of the things I'm writing will have become outdated--or, even worse, will have been shown to be false. The same may be said about the textbook. You should consider the material in this course to be a baseline of what we know now. However, during your lifetime you will need to revise your thinking continuously as new hypotheses are developed and the results of new research become known. Finally, a word of caution. As you read about a particular maladaptive behavior and look at its symptoms, you may very well see yourself, your family, your friends, your ex-spouse, or some other person as having that problem or set of symptoms. When this happens, remember that most of the behaviors we study in abnormal psychology are also present, although to a lesser degree, in normal, healthy individuals. Also, consider the definition of abnormal behavior by Holmes (1991) presented in lesson 1. That definition is useful because it moves beyond simply matching a collection of symptoms. Course Outline: Lesson 1: Overview and Introduction Lesson 2: Stress and Adjustment Disorders Lesson 3: Mood, Somatoform, and Dissociative Disorders Lesson 4: Health Problems and Behavior Lesson 5: Midcourse Exam Lesson 6: Personality and Addiction Disorders Lesson 7: Sexuality and Schizophrenia Lesson 8: Cognitive and Childhood Disorders Lesson 9: Clinical Assessment and Therapy Lesson 10: Final Exam Text: Butcher, James N., Mineka, S., & Hooley, J.

Psy 3633 Happiness: Integrating Research Across Psychological Sciences

Grading basis/credits:   3 credit(s)

Prereq:   3001W or 3001V or instr consent

Description:  What is the nature of human happiness and fulfillment? To answer this, we will build on insights from many disciplines, including cognitive, personality and social psychology, biology and even economics. The course approaches happiness from multiple levels of analysis to build an integrative approach to the feelings that make life worth living. The course will cover the measurement of happiness, preference and utility (economic approaches), flow and states that give rise to happiness (social psychology), adaptation (personality and behavioral genetics), pleasure centers in the brain (neuroscience), addiction and depression (clinical psychology). Students will (1) Learn the constituent properties of happiness, in terms of both basic mechanisms and individual differences (2) Conceptualize everyday, relevant and ancient questions in terms of objective evidence and experiment methodologies (3) Learn to scrutinize popular and scholarly articles from diverse fields in terms of soundness of the assumptions and strength of data (4) Practice drawing together a coherent argument from diverse sources, and balance evidence appropriately.

Psy 3960 Undergraduate Seminar in Psychology

Grading basis/credits:   1-5 credit(s), max credits 45, 9 completions allowed

Prereq:   1001

Description:  Social psychological research often has important implications outside of academia. One area in which this is particularly true is the law. Scholars, judges, lawyers, and police departments use social psychology to examine a variety of questions: When and how do juries decide to award the death penalty? When are interrogations likely to coerce false confessions? When are eyewitness identifications likely to be inaccurate? How prevalent is employment discrimination? Are police and the criminal justice system biased against minorities? Through lectures, readings, and discussion, we will explore how social psychology is used to answer these and other questions and ways that the answers have made a difference in how the judicial system operates and influences society. In doing so, we will engage students in a critical analysis of existing law and procedure as well as the ways in which social psychologists attempt to apply their work to real-world policy issues.

Psy 5862 Psychological Measurement: Theory and Methods

Grading basis/credits:   3 credit(s)

Prereq:   4801 or equiv

Description:  Psychological measurements are used in all applied areas of psychology. Tests and other measuring instruments that quantify human behavior are used by counseling and clinical psychologists, school psychologists, industrial/organizational psychologists, and any psychological researcher doing research that involves individual differences. Psychological measurement methods are also used by researchers in a wide variety of other fields including sociology, political science, education, and medical and nursing research. Psy 5862 is concerned with the process of quantification in psychology and related fields -- why do we quantify, how do we quantify, and how do we know if our measurements (or measuring instruments constructed by others) are functioning properly? The discussion includes all types of psychological measurement instruments -- tests of ability and achievement, and scales for measuring personality, interests, and preferences. The focus is not on specific measuring instruments, but on methods and procedures that are used to develop various types of instruments. Procedures for evaluating instruments in terms of their reliability, validity, and other characteristics are emphasized. Although the material is quantitative, the presentation is primarily conceptual. However, a basic knowledge of statistics is assumed -- you should at least know what a mean and a standard deviation are and have had some exposure to the idea of correlation.

Class Time: 100% Lecture.

Work Load: 50-100 pages reading per week, 0 pages writing per term, 2 exams, 0 papers. Note: There are no specific requirements in terms of basic math -- you do not need to have had coursework in algebra or calculus.

Description:  This directed research is designed for undergraduate and graduate students interested in the topics of narrative, identity, culture, and education, with particular emphasis on a developmental perspective. Students interested in any one of these four topics are encouraged to enroll, but the primary emphasis will be on narrative approaches to development (e.g., how cultural, ethnic, and racial identities are constructed and communicated through narrative). We will explore issues pertaining to narrative theory, methods, coding, and analysis; how narrative can complement other forms of inquiry; and how narrative can contribute to social justice research; among other topics. Students are expected to attend a weekly lab group meeting and reading group.
