Psych 335

Psychology Department--UMass/Boston

As indicated on the syllabus, this is a course in political psychology. In this course I seek to apply research in social, personality, and cognitive psychology to an understanding of the dynamics of public opinion and effects of the mass media.

• Syllabus
• NOTE:  We are now one day ahead of the syllabus, so you should do the reading on class ahead.  On October 17, I will be out of town, so you can have a final group meeting during class time for your group papers.  The DUE DATE for the paper is one week later than on the original syllabus [now is 10/22].
