Course Description

In a similar way to Basic Research in Psychology II, we will read literatures about recent empirical studies of human social behavior. We will learn topics in cross-disciplinary fields such as behavioral economics, neuroeconomics, cultural evolution, and so on. We aim to understand psychological mechanisms behind human pro-sociality and its influence on a society. In this seminar, students will make a presentation using handouts or a Power Point, and have a discussion with other students.
