FS 010 PZ -Social Identity


Institution: Pitzer

Description: There are many aspects that comprise our social identity - age, gender, race/ethnicity, school affiliation, religion, the list goes on and on. According to psychologists, these social identities shape the way we navigate our world, such as how we categorize ourselves and others, and who we tend to compare ourselves to. Social identity informs us of who constitutes our ingroup and who constitutes the outgroup with implications for stereotyping and intergroup prejudice. In this course, we will examine how social identities shape our perception of the world and the consequences for affect, cognition, and behavior.
