The purpose of Applied Social Psychology is twofold: (a) to familiarize students with the general frameworks and domains of applications of basic social psychological theories, including health and prevention, consumer behavior, environmental issues, organizations, mass media, law, politics, aggression and violence; and (b) to enhance students' skills on research planning, literature review, and essay writing.
Grading is based on (a) a 3-hour written exam, and (b) a written assignment, i.e. a 3500-word report of a research project on a specific topic. A 10-point scale is used (where 10='excellent', 5='pass', 1-4='fail').
