Psychology : The biological underpinnings of human social cognition and behavior, including neural, hormonal, and genetic mechanisms.

Topics will include social cognition/theory of mind, empathy and understanding others, cooperation and prosocial behavior, interpersonal relationships, the self/agency, morality and anti-social behavior as well as basic methodological approaches to the study of social neuroscience and emerging issues in the field.
