Scheuer Room

The talk will explore five enduring insights of social psychology – foundational lessons relevant to a broad array of human behaviors – both “negative” (aggression and intergroup conflict, overeating and smoking, prejudice and stereotyping) and “positive” (prosocial action, educational achievement, successful impression management). Implications for a host of fields, including those in the humanities and natural sciences, will be discussed.
