Environmental risk factors for psychopathology are numerous; specific social factors, such as bullying, peer pressure, and social adversity are often linked with the development of psychiatric disorders. Which begs the questions: Can Facebook cause depression? Do television shows like 13 Reasons Why increase the rate of suicide? Are "fitspiration" communities dangerous? This course will review the role social factors (social support, social interactions, social functioning, and the broader social context of communities) relate to the development and maintenance of psychopathology on biological and behavioral levels. In the context of disorders such as autism, schizophrenia, depression (including suicide), eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder, this course will look at how social factors might contribute to the development of mental illness, as well as how social factors might be indicators of mental illness, and finally how social factors might mediate the severity of or even prevent the development of mental illness. Prereq: PSCL 101 and PSCL 321.

PSCL 382. Pseudoscience in Mental Health. 3 Units.

Have you ever wondered whether polygraphs (lie detectors) are valid assessments? Or why inkblots are thought to be useful tests for psychopathology? Or if multiple personality disorder actually exists? And if these ideas are misconstrued or false, why do so many people believe them? This course focuses on distinguishing pseudoscientific claims from scientific claims in clinical psychology. We will evaluate popular, and oftentimes controversial, methods, assessments, and treatments within the field of clinical science. Grounded in the fundamentals of scientific inquiry and research methods, students will sharpen critical thinking skills by evaluating pseudoscientific claims and learning to identify the characteristic features that distinguish pseudoscience and science. We will discuss the psychological issues associated with theories and practices such as false memories, projective testing, facilitated communication, the use of expert testimony, dissociative identity disorder, and harmful or unsupported treatments for psychiatric disorders. Additionally students will complete a semester long research project associated with pseudoscience in mental health. In groups, students will design and run their own experiments and present these data at the end of the semester. Prereq: PSCL 282.

In this course we will examine the multi-faceted nature of emotion with an emphasis on the development of emotion in adulthood. We will consider the history, theories, and most recent research and thinking in the science of emotion and aging. We will also be considering how we know what we know about emotions. So, one goal will be to increase our awareness of the assumptions underlying theorists, claims, researchers, findings, and our own belief structures. We will also work to strengthen our general thinking and communicative abilities as we study the psychology of emotion. Specifically, our goals will be to state theories and ideas clearly and concisely, to identify different parts of arguments and analyze the logic of these parts, to integrate the different aspects of emotion, and to generate new ideas based on the theories and research. My shorthand terms for these processes are: "summarizing", "analyzing", "integrating", and "generating".

How do people differ in terms of their overall happiness and well-being, the degree to which they seek/avoid positive/negative experiences, and how they try to control their emotions? And what brain mechanisms are involved in emotional processing and emotion regulation? This course is also intended to help students read research in a thorough, critical manner, which may have a positive impact on students considering an academic career.
