Course Description

This course provides a broad introduction to the field of political psychology, focusing on

classic and contemporary perspectives. It examines essential ideas and findings useful in

understanding political actors and their supporters.

Course Goals

The course will acquaint students with key theories and findings in the study of

psychology that shed light on politics. The primary goal is to develop critical analytic and

synthetic skills needed to interpret social and political life. By engaging with the theories

and experiments of leading psychological figures, students will gain an understanding of

many conceptual tools useful in understanding our world. And by applying these

concepts to the study of politics, students will better appreciate the challenges and

opportunities of an interdisciplinary approach. Moreover, in reviewing the methods

employed in the field of political psychology, students will gain greater insight into

strengths and limitations of contemporary social science.

UVic Statement regarding PLAGIARISM AND ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Academic integrity is intellectual honesty and responsibility for academic work that you

submit individually or as a member of a group. It involves commitment to the values of

honesty, trust and responsibility. It is expected that students will respect these ethical

values in all activities related to learning, teaching, research and service. Therefore,

plagiarism and other acts against academic integrity are serious academic offences.

The responsibility of the institution – Instructors and academic units have the

responsibility to ensure that standards of academic honesty are met. By doing so, the

institution recognizes students for their hard work and assures them that other students do

not have an unfair advantage through cheating on essays, exams, and projects.

The responsibility of the student – Plagiarism sometimes occurs due to a

misunderstanding regarding the rules of academic integrity, but it is the responsibility of

the student to know them. If you are unsure about the standards for citations or for

referencing your sources, ask your instructor. Depending on the severity of the case,

penalties include a warning, a failing grade, a record on the student’s transcript, or a

suspension. It is your responsibility to understand the University’s policy on academic

integrity, which can be found on pages 32-34 of the undergraduate calendar.

UVic COURSE EXPERIENCE SURVEY (CES)

Towards the end of term, as in all other courses at UVic, you will have the opportunity to

complete an anonymous survey regarding your learning experience (CES). The survey

will help the department improve the overall program for students in the future. The

survey is accessed via MyPage and can be done on your laptop, tablet, or mobile device.

The department will provide you with more detailed information nearer the time of the

survey.
