Course Objective
This course is designed to help students develop an understanding of the
concepts, methods, and research findings central to the study of emotion and motivation.
Course Content
This course aims to provide students with a deeper understanding of the role that emotions and motivations play in shaping human behavior. The first part of the course will provide an overview of different approaches to the study of human emotions, including basic emotion theory, functionalist approaches, and constructionism. We will discuss applications of emotion research in several contexts, including social media, politics, and the law. The second part of the course will review state-of-the-art research aiming to uncover motivations underlying social behaviors. The course consists of different forms of tuition (i.e., lectures, class discussions, and peer-based learning) and requires an active participation and preparation of students. Moreover, during the course, students will design and propose an empirical study in the area of emotion or motivation.
