PSYCH 370. Introduction to Psychopathology.
Section 010.Instructor(s): Ed Chang (changec@umich.edu)Prerequisites & Distribution: Introductory psychology. (4). (SS). Credits: (4). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. Abnormal psychology entails the scientific study of aberrant behaviors, broadly defined. However, there is no universal consensus on the definition, classification, and treatment of psychological disorders. As we shall quickly see, what is deemed abnormal and how it develops or is treated will partly depend on the particular perspective taken. Hence, a key goal of this course is to guide students toward a broad and critical understanding of "abnormal behavior" from a number of different perspectives. We will accomplish this by exploring, evaluating, and discussing various strengths and weaknesses of different perspectives for understanding psychology based on the theoretical and empirical literature. Films may be used to illustrate some of the important concepts mentioned in the lectures and in the readings. Your final grade will be based on the total number of points you obtain from lecture-based quizzes (a total of 10 quizzes, each quiz is worth a maximum of 20 points) given at the start of each lecture class, and from a midterm and final exam (each exam is worth a maximum of 100 points) and a maximum of 400 points determined by your discussion section leader from participation, attendance, papers, and quizzes. Accordingly, 50% of your grade will be based on your performance in the lecture section and 50% of your grade will be based on your performance in the discussion section. Note, it is the students responsibility to be in attendance for all lecture and discussion section classes. Lecture-based quizzes, which cannot be made up for any reason, will begin by the second lecture class. Students who are late for lectures risk missing lecture-based quizzes which will be given only during the very start of each lecture class. Hence, students should anticipate making it to each lecture class by no later than 8am to ensure that opportunities to earn points from lecture-based quizzes are not lost due to lateness. Missing quizzes will have a direct impact on your final grade.

Which heuristics do we employ in social judgment and when do they lead us astray? What is the role of moods and emotions in reasoning? How are our thought processes influenced by the social and communicative context in which we do much of our thinking? Each topic will be introduced with an overview lecture, followed by in-depth discussion of selected research articles. Students are expected to read 2 or 3 articles each week; to prepare for class discussion on the basis of questions that invite the application of what has been learned; and to write a term paper on a topic of their choice.

An important goal of this course is to help you gain a better appreciation for the ways in which culture and human psyche mutually constitute each other, and to enhance your ability to deal with and understand variations in human behavior across cultures and ethnic groups.
