Overview
Students taking the Social Psychology course offered by Coursera in partnership with Wesleyan University for a Certificate will also receive free membership in Social Psychology Network.
Each of us is dealt a different hand in life, but we all face similar questions when it comes to human behavior: What leads us to like one person and dislike another? How do conflicts and prejudices develop, and how can they be reduced? Can psychological research help protect the environment, and if so, how?
