Social Influence and Persuasion Exam Practice Tests
Course Introduction
Social Influence and Persuasion explores the psychological principles underlying how individuals thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are shaped by the presence and actions of others. The course examines theories and research on conformity, compliance, obedience, and attitude change, highlighting both subtle and overt techniques used to influence individuals and groups. Students will analyze real-world applications in areas such as advertising, politics, and social movements, and evaluate ethical considerations related to persuasive communication. Through lectures, discussions, and case studies, participants will develop a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of social influence and strategies for effective and responsible persuasion.
