Course Description:

The main goal of this course is to explore different areas of psychology through film. We will evaluate the accuracy of the ways in which psychology is depicted in the movies by comparing it to actual psychological research. We consider a variety of psychological processes-motivation, personality, sensation, perception, memory, intelligence, moral decision-making, learning, stress, love, obedience, psychopathology, therapy, and so on-and use classic and contemporary feature films as a laboratory to shed light on those processes.
