of this course is to explore factors behind the behavior of humans and
animals. Motivation is the
study of “why” behavior occurs. Lectures
and discussions will stimulate students to think independently about the
subject matter. This course
will not answer all of your questions about why people behave the way they
do, but rather is designed to explore some of the many psychological
factors which influence behavior. |
