In particular, the course will focus on understanding different sources of rank in society (e.g., psychological traits, sociocultural identity, physiological states, group status) and how these sources uniquely shape cognition, emotion, and behavior. Some sample questions that the course will examine include: Does power corrupt, and if so, who can resist these corrupting forces? How can we elect good leaders? Is America a society without social classes? Does money buy happiness and societal well-being? Do emotions shape power, and does having power shape emotions? What can animal models of social rank tell us about human social hierarchies? How do race and gender shape social status? Throughout the course we will move toward an understanding of power, status, and influence as it relates to current political, social, and economic events. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
