00870 - Social Psychology

Course contents

This year the program concerns the study of social psychology, declined in its general and specific aspects. This discipline in fact represents an important tool of interpretation of reality, not necessarily aimed at the formation of psychologists, but also of educators.
The course includes the presentation of classical subjects of discipline - the history, the Self and the identity, attitudes, prejudices and stereotypes, aggressiveness - but also issues relating to some real aspects such as social exclusion, interculture, the professionalism of teachers who daily face the challenge of education of children and adolescents.
In a second moment will be presented with a specific part useful for anyone who deals with children in the age 0-6: the emotional development and emotional competence (with themes dedicated to socialization and emotions in daily life) and relationships between groups in pre-school age.
