PSYC 0372 - Capstone Experience: Behaviorism in Contemporary Society

Credits: 3

This Capstone Experience (CE) course explores how using a behavior analytic perspective may help us understand and change the world in which we live. Students will build upon principles and themes introduced in previous courses (such as PSYC 0317 ). Throughout the course, we will analyze the philosophy of behaviorism and determine whether a behavioral perspective might be useful in the designing of environments where people live happier, more productive lives. By the end of the course, students should be able to provide behavioral interpretations of, and solutions for, many of our societal problems.

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