PSYC 0372 - Capstone Experience: Behaviorism in Contemporary Society

Credits: 3

Behaviorism in Contemporary Society (3) This course will explore how a behavior analytic perspective may help us understand and change the world in which we live. We will build upon principles and themes introduced in previous courses (e.g.,PSYC 0317). Throughout the course, we will analyze the philosophy of behaviorism and determine whether a behavioral perspective might be useful in the design of environments in which people live happier and move productive lives. By the end of the course, we should be able to provide behavioral interpretations of and solutions for many of our societal problems.

Prerequisites: Senior standing and, PSYC 0306  or PSYC 0317  , or permission of instructor.
