Aims
Main themes
- the way in which we perceive others or the study of social thinking (for example, what links our attitudes and behaviours, how we explain our behaviour and that of others, what beliefs we form about reality etc.) ;
- the way in which we enter into relationships with one another or the study of social interactions (for example, what kinds of communication are used between individuals, how relationships of altruism, aggression and attraction are formed) ;
- the way in which social groups structure the relationships between individuals or the study of groups (for example, why people join groups, what tensions can run through them, what their structure is, how important deviancy is, how change can be envisaged, how the inter-group relationships work and how stereotypes and social discriminations can arise etc.)
Content and teaching methods
Analysis of the relationships forged between individuals, between individuals and groups and between groups, in three main areas : the study of social thinking (the way in which we perceive others), the study of social interactions (the way in which we enter into relationships with one another), the study of groups (the way in which groups structure the relationships between individuals).
