Week 12 (November 12 - 18)

Module D - Why do people do the things they do?

Welcome to my very favorite learning module!  This module was created because this is one of the most commonly asked questions by introductory psychology students.  In this learning module you will explore some of the factors that influence the attitudes that we hold as well as the behaviors that we engage in.  You'll learn about the influence of internal and external factors and how they work together and result in the behaviors and actions that we engage in.  How could somebody inflict pain on another person?  Why do kids bully each other?  Why do I get to work on-time?  These are some of the questions that you will be better equipped to answer at the end of this module.

Coming soon!
