PSY 216 Social Psychology

Course Description: Surveys the scientific study of how individuals think about, influence, and relate to one another with respect to social beliefs, persuasion, attraction, conformity, obedience, prejudice, aggression, and pro-social behaviors. Prerequisites: WR 115, RD 115, and MTH 20 or equivalent placement test scores.

Required Text: Currently Under review for low-cost to no-cost materials. 

Below is some general information about textbooks that might be helpful for any class you might take. ISBNs represent the textbook and how it is published (loose leaf, hardback, etc), and there may be multiple ISBNs because of this. The key is to compare the Authors, Year, Title and Edition listed above to know if you are looking at the correct text version.

If you are unfamiliar with the PCC bookstores, you can search for your text at the Rock Creek Bookstore. Students can sell their books directly to other students through the Campus Marketplace. Consider using the Campus Marketplace to sell your course materials if you have an unused e-text access code or physical copy of the text.

Required Access: Desire to Learn will be used for this class for coursework. You can access Desire2learn through MyPCC on the Quick Links Menu on the left side of the home page.
