Course Homepage: http://coursetools.ummu.umich.edu/2001/fall/psych/111/001.nsf The purpose of this course is to introduce you to the field of psychology. As a discipline, Psychology is concerned with questions that make up the very fabric of our existence. From the mundane (e.g., Why can't I remember the names of people I meet?) to the profound (e.g., How do we know what behavior is "normal"?). There are three major goals for the course: (1) Introduce you to the ways that psychologists think about and approach questions of mind and behavior. One of the main themes of the course is that different kinds of psychologists (e.g., biological, cognitive, social, clinical, etc.) approach psychology from different, but complementary, perspectives. (2) Introduce you to the body of knowledge, research findings, and underlying principles that currently exist in the field. (3) Stimulate you to think about how the material we cover in class applies to your daily life. Psychology offers a unique perspective on many of the questions and social issues that confront us.

This course is designed to introduce Honors students to contemporary psychology. At the end of this term, the student should realize that psychology covers a tremendous variety of topics and that the approaches to studying these topics are equally numerous. In order to achieve these goals, this course will cover a broad area of topics: Part 1 is a general introduction to psychology (definitions, history, methods). In Part 2, we will look at psychology on four different levels of analysis, namely on a biological level (the brain, evolution and the biological basis of behavior, behavioral genetics), a "basic processes" level (exploring research on perception, learning, information processing, motivation, and emotion), on a level of understanding the person (development, personality theories, psychopathology, treatment of mental disorders), and finally on a "social" level, which focuses on understanding the individual in a social context (social cognition, social influence, social interaction: intragroup and intergroup processes). In Part 3, we will look at one specific problem, namely the student's transition from high school to college, and how this problem can be approached on a biological level (stress and infectious diseases), on a basic process level, on a level of looking at one person (the personality characteristics that might make an adjustment to a transition easier) and on a social level (how does social support influence our adjustment to transitions in our life?).

Course Homepage: http://coursetools.ummu.umich.edu/2001/fall/psych/120/006.nsf This first-year seminar will focus on late life potential. Late life usually is considered a time of inevitable loss. However, there is growing evidence about ways to limit these losses, and also possible promote gains and in late life. Over the term we will examine theory and research on development and aging, as well as read biographical material on late life greatness, study examples of late life accomplishments, and talk with vital old people. By the end of the term, students should understand the nature of late life potential, as well as some of the conditions that facilitate it. From this understanding we will also consider appropriate roles for the elders of our society. The seminar will mainly involve discussion. Students will be evaluated by weekly assignments and a final exam. Check Times, Location, and Availability Cost: No Data Given. Waitlist Code: No Data Given. PSYCH 120.

This course is designed to help students explore their future career goals and, at the same time, reflect on the future of work. Our emphasis will be on active learning and exploration. We will read, discuss, conduct small research projects, and work both individually and in teams. In the first part of the course, we learn what writers, psychologists, and experts on work and careers have to say about the psychological meaning of work, how you will cope with challenges, shape your future self, and choose your future work. Next, we look to the future where emerging technology, rapid globalization, and cultural differences will play a major role in shaping working life. The authors we read ask whether work as we know it will disappear, how it will cross national boundaries, and if we can bridge the gap between dramatically different cultures in the global work of the future. Then we ask how these global, technological, and cultural forces will actually shape future work. What is likely to happen to jobs and careers, and to the work organizations of the future? How will we experience the work itself, and how will the growing diversity of the workforce influence work and organizations? Finally, how will the new work influence our values, our sense of family, and our sense of community? In the last part of the course, students will work in teams on small research projects that explore a topic of their own choosing on the future of work. This class will use a course pack.

This introductory seminar course will examine identity development and intergroup relations as we challenge ourselves to think critically about our social identities and worldviews. Social or group identities include for example, race, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual orientation, and religion. These identities are predicated upon a social structural system that advantages some groups and disadvantages others. As such, this course will also explore how inequities in our multicultural and multiethnic American society impact identity development and relationships between groups.

This seminar will explore the experimental, anecdotal, and theoretical work that suggests that we humans are capable of intuition and knowledge that seriously challenge the prevailing conceptions of human potential and sensory-based reality. Experiences of non-ordinary reality are accepted as valid across a wide range of cultures and under varied conditions. However, it is only recently that such phenomena as remote viewing and holistic mind-body connections have begun to cross the boundary into the scientific community, stimulating both research and strenuous efforts to debunk what has been reported in the literature. We will review this literature and its critics. We will explore the possibility of replicating or extending some of these studies. Lastly, we will review efforts to make theoretical sense of what has been found to date. Check Times, Location, and Availability Cost: 2 Waitlist Code: 1 PSYCH 120.

This is a multidisciplinary seminar for first-year students that explores the questions: What is leadership? What are some styles of leadership and traits of effective leaders? What essential tasks must leaders perform? We will examine both classical and contemporary views of leadership.

Core readings consist of Gardner On Leadership, and McFarland et al. 21st Century Leadership. Each student will lead at least one class discussion on a chapter from the readings. Small groups of students will also prepare an oral and written report on one outstanding leader of their choice. The course requires a great deal of writing and active participation in class. Course grades will be based on attendance and participation in class discussions, a reading log or journal, position papers for the class discussions, an end-of-class essay, and the oral and written leader reports.

Course Homepage: http://coursetools.ummu.umich.edu/2001/fall/psych/121/001.nsf Consciousness is perhaps the greatest challenge still facing science. In this course we shall examine some of the most influential thinking about consciousness and the findings from neuroscience and psychology that shed light on it. In doing this, we shall ask a number of questions: Just what is consciousness? Can brain scans and studies of the effects of brain injuries tell us where in the brain consciousness is located? Can computers (or animals) be conscious? How can you know whether someone else is conscious? What happens to consciousness in dreams, hypnosis, meditation, and drug-altered mental states? Does mental telepathy really exist? What about near-death experiences? Is the mind distinct from the body? Reading assignments, discussions, written exercises, and other in-class activities will help you to consider, challenge, and possibly change your own perspective on consciousness.
