Description
This introductory course has three inter-related focal points: (1) interactive human experiences in social settings, (2) social influence and networking processes, and (3) social behavior in intimate relationships, groups, organizations, and diverse cultures. Using a sociological perspective, lectures and readings draw upon research findings from surveys, experiments, and observational studies to explore these three focal points together with specific applications in the areas of criminal justice, public health, and the human environment. Internet-based student research projects are integrated wtih the course's theoretical content.
