Social cognition refers to knowledge about social relations, social objects, and social institutions. Over the last decade, the field of social cognition has flourished in the areas of developmental, experimental and social psychology. In this course, the focus of interest will be on social cognition with respect to four areas: conceptions of others (person perception); the ability to take the view of another (role taking); conceptions of interpersonal relations (friendship); and moral judgments.
