Credits: 4

Spring 2018, PSYC 296-01: Spring Term Topics in Psychology: The Psychology of Self-Control: “Humans in Lexington” (3). This seminar focuses on understanding different theoretical approaches to self-control, critically analyzing the research applying these self-control models to different behavioral domains, and evaluating the effectiveness of self-control interventions based on their theoretical assumptions. Students evaluate and apply the theories through empirical reports and reviews published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and popular-press articles. Students apply what they are learning in class to themselves through a self-directed, behavior-change program, and to the world around them through application assignments. (SS3) Scherschel.
