College of Arts & Sciences Department of Psychology Oakland University PSY 5201: Social Cognition and Interpersonal Processes Instructor: Dr. Virgil Zeigler-Hill Course Section #: 14199-001 Class Time: Tu/Th 3:00pm-4:47pm Office Hours: Th 1:00pm-3:00pm Office: 212A Pryale Hall E-mail: zeiglerh@oakland.edu Website: www.zeigler-hill.com Classroom: 130 Pryale Hall Course Description Outcomes & Objectives The goal of this course is to cover current perspectives in social psychology that provide an overview of current research and thinking in the field. I have selected the topics for this course in an effort to give you a broad sampling of current issues in social cognition and interpersonal processes. Course Procedures: Informal lectures and discussion Course Objectives: 1. Learn basic concepts in social psychology. 2. Demonstrate an understanding of research in social psychology. Student Conduct: Students are expected to adhere to the guidelines for student conduct outlined in the Graduate Student Handbook. Student Conduct Policy on Academic Misconduct: The University s regulations that relate to academic misconduct will be fully enforced. Any student suspected of cheating and/or plagiarism will be reported to the Dean of Students and, thereafter, to the Academic Conduct Committee for adjudication. Anyone found guilty of academic misconduct in this course may receive a course grade of 0.0, in addition to any penalty assigned by the Academic Conduct Committee. Students found guilty of academic misconduct by the Academic Conduct Committee may face suspension or permanent dismissal. The full policy on academic misconduct can be found in the General Information section of the Graduate Catalog. 1
Attendance: It is expected that you will attend class regularly. However, if you need to miss class because of an emergency (e.g., severe illness, death of a close relative), then let me know as soon as possible. Excused Absence Policy: University excused absences apply to participation as an athlete, manager, or student trainer in NCAA intercollegiate competitions, or participation as a representative of Oakland University at academic events and artistic performances approved by the Provost or designee. For the OU excused absence policy, see http://wwwp.oakland.edu/provost/policies-and-procedures/ Faculty Feedback: As a student in this class, you may receive Faculty Feedback in your OU e- mail if your professor identifies areas of concern that may impede your success in the class. Faculty Feedback typically occurs during weeks 2-5 of the Fall and Winter terms, but may also be given later in the semester and more than once a semester. A Faculty Feedback e-mail will specify the area(s) of concern and recommend action(s) you should take. Please remember to check your OU email account regularly as that is where it will appear. Basic Information and Expectations Audio Recording Policy: Students who wish to audio-record lectures may request permission to do so. These recordings may only be used for the purpose of personal study. Students may not share these recordings with other individuals without the consent of the professor. At the conclusion of the semester, students may request permission to keep these recordings if needed, otherwise it is expected that all audio-recordings will be deleted from all electronic recording and storage devices. Veteran Support Services: The office of Veteran Support Services (VSS) is responsible for giving support services to more than 300 veterans, service members, and dependents of veterans. VSS is staffed with personnel who are veterans and current or former students. Any student veteran or dependent of a veteran requiring assistance with navigating the Veterans Administration, understanding service-related benefits, or requires referrals to campus and community resources should contact one of the Veterans Liaisons by visiting 116 North Foundation Hall, or phoning 248-370-2010. http://wwwp.oakland.edu/veterans/ Do Not Fall Behind: It is critical that you keep up with the material in this class. We will cover a great deal of material this semester so you will have considerable trouble if you fall behind. Readings: Reading assignments will be given in class. I expect you to carefully read each of the articles/chapters for each class. Reading the assigned material is mandatory for this course. Class Participation: You are expected to be an active participant in this class. You will learn more effectively if you take part in class by asking questions, answering questions, and engaging in discussions. Add/Drops & Incompletes: The University add/drop and incomplete grade policies will be explicitly followed. It is your responsibility to be aware of the University deadline dates for adding or dropping the course. Special Considerations: A student with a documented learning or physical disability must contact the Office of Disability Support Services, 103A North Foundation Hall, (248) 370-3266, and inform the professor of special needs during first week of classes.

Grades in this course will be based on evaluations of the following materials: Participation in discussion, reaction papers, leading discussions, a research proposal, and a presentation concerning the research proposal. Participation in Discussion: The format of this course is a graduate-level seminar. That is, it will consist primarily of informal lecture and discussion. It is essential that everyone comes to each class prepared to discuss the assigned readings. If you miss class, then you obviously will be unable to participate in the class discussion. Excessive absences and/or failure to participate in discussion will have a negative impact on your grade. Do not confuse participation with talking a lot. Making one meaningful comment will be given more weight than 10 trivial ones. It is also possible that I will give reading quizzes on some days to make sure that students have completed the assigned readings. Reaction Papers: You will write a one-page (typed and double-spaced) reaction paper each week. These reaction papers should reflect your thoughts about that particular topic (e.g., comments about the readings, ideas for future research). These reaction papers must include at least two discussion questions to help stimulate discussion during class. These reaction papers should be e- mailed to me by 11:59pm the night before class. Students with last names that begin with A-H will write reaction papers for Tuesday classes and those with last names that begin with I-Z will write reaction papers for Thursday classes. Grade Determination Leading Discussion: Each student will lead/co-lead two class sessions this semester (i.e., one will be done alone and one will be done as part of a group). This activity will consist of two parts: (1) giving a 30-minute PowerPoint presentation about the topic being covered that day and (2) leading discussion about the required readings. During the PowerPoint presentation, you should provide an overview of the topic and integrate at least 3 empirical articles that are not required reading for the course. These presentations should be well-prepared and rehearsed. Research Proposal: You will propose an empirical investigation of a topic relevant to the study of the social cognition. This research proposal should not simply be a slight modification of another project or a research proposal for another course. Rather, this should be a completely original research proposal that concerns a topic that clearly falls within the scope of this course. The Introduction and Method section for the proposal should be approximately 10-15 pages in length (but it may be longer, if necessary). It should be written in APA-style. The proposal should cite at least 15 sources that are not required readings for this course. The body of the paper should consist of the Introduction and the Method sections. You will turn in a 1-page prospectus to me on February 15th, 2018. Your final research proposal is due on April 19th, 2018. Presentation Concerning Research Proposal: Students will be responsible for giving a 15- minute PowerPoint presentation concerning their research proposal. This presentation will be followed by a 5 minute question-and-answer session.
