Content
In this unit students will gain an advanced understanding of social psychological research into interpersonal relationships processes. Students will learn about various topics such as: attachment and attitudinal processes, the formation and dissolution of relationships, emotions and prosocial behaviour in relationships, aggression and interpersonal hostility. Concurrently the unit will extend students' understanding of some major debates that have shaped the study of relationships and interpersonal processes.
Please be aware that this unit will require all students to observe and engage with activities and assessment that contain negative relationship behaviours (e.g., aggression, hostility, and other negative conflict behaviours). For example, students will watch and code videos of real couples having an intense and negative argument.
