Course Description
This course provides a broad introduction to the field of political psychology, focusing on
classic and contemporary perspectives. It examines essential ideas and findings useful in
understanding political actors and their supporters.
Course Goals
The course will acquaint students with key theories and findings in the study of
psychology that shed light on politics. The primary goal is to develop critical analytic and
synthetic skills needed to interpret social and political life. By engaging with the theories
and experiments of leading psychological figures, students will gain an understanding of
many conceptual tools useful in understanding our world. And by applying these
concepts to the study of politics, students will better appreciate the challenges and
opportunities of an interdisciplinary approach. Moreover, in reviewing the methods
employed in the field of political psychology, students will gain greater insight into
strengths and limitations of contemporary social science.

UVic Statement regarding PLAGIARISM AND ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Academic integrity is intellectual honesty and responsibility for academic work that you
submit individually or as a member of a group. It involves commitment to the values of
honesty, trust and responsibility. It is expected that students will respect these ethical
values in all activities related to learning, teaching, research and service. Therefore,
plagiarism and other acts against academic integrity are serious academic offences.
The responsibility of the institution – Instructors and academic units have the
responsibility to ensure that standards of academic honesty are met. By doing so, the
institution recognizes students for their hard work and assures them that other students do
not have an unfair advantage through cheating on essays, exams, and projects.
The responsibility of the student – Plagiarism sometimes occurs due to a
misunderstanding regarding the rules of academic integrity, but it is the responsibility of
the student to know them. If you are unsure about the standards for citations or for
referencing your sources, ask your instructor. Depending on the severity of the case,
penalties include a warning, a failing grade, a record on the student’s transcript, or a
suspension. It is your responsibility to understand the University’s policy on academic
integrity, which can be found on pages 32-34 of the undergraduate calendar.
UVic COURSE EXPERIENCE SURVEY (CES)
Towards the end of term, as in all other courses at UVic, you will have the opportunity to
complete an anonymous survey regarding your learning experience (CES). The survey
will help the department improve the overall program for students in the future. The
survey is accessed via MyPage and can be done on your laptop, tablet, or mobile device.
The department will provide you with more detailed information nearer the time of the
survey.
