Courses
⌄
In this seminar we will read, get to know and deepen our knowledge of classical papers supplemented by recent studies in the field of social-cognitive psychology regarding sustainable behaviour. The topics of the individual sessions are deliberately diversified in order to gain insights into as broad a spectrum of different content as possible. Topics may include nudging, science communication, and the attitude-behavior-gap.
Students will be expected to thoroughly read a research article for each session in a way that allows them to critically discuss it. They will also need to give a presentation about a paper they read. In addition, students are expected to participate regularly and actively contribute to discussions.
In order to pass the course, students need to
• hold a group presentation about a paper
• collect data in a field experiment
• write an essay in the form of a scientific paper about the field experiment
The group presentation will account for 25% of your final grade. The group essay will account for 75% of your final grade. The submission of experiment data is required for you to pass the course.
