- Course objectives
- The aim of the course is mastering the basic concepts, knowledge and scientific theories to develop the basis for their practical use. The study of psychology will contribute not only to better orientation in interpersonal contacts and relations but will also show whether and how the students are prepared for a specialised profession based on dealing with people. The students will be able to recognise the mechanisms of interpersonal relations and social groups functioning (groups, crowds, communities), to analyse the basic components of social contacts (communication, perception, interaction), to understand practical impacts of socialisation of an individual, and to explain human behaviour in stressful and conflict social situations.
