Collective psychology studies the cognition, emotions, and behavior of social groups, where interpersonal interactions lead to the emergence of outcomes that cannot be captured by studying individuals as separate units. In this seminar, we will discuss primary research on various topics in collective psychology such as team decision-making, emotion contagion, online mobs, effects of leadership, intergroup conflict, etc. Coursework will build towards a final written project in which students analyze and propose research-backed solutions to real-world problems in group dynamics.
