This course, centered on social psychology, will teach students various "arts" of persuasion that all people are influenced by in their daily lives, namely: reciprocity, commitment, scarcity, social validation, liking, and authority. Questions such as "Why do we conform?" or "Why do advertisers do [insert technique here]?" will be explored. Class is meant to be fun and interactive, and gives insight as to what YOU can do to avoid being manipulated by others. Heavily inspired by Professor Lazzaro's PSYC 110 class -- Introduction to Psychology -- here at Yale.
