Emotions serve particularly crucial functions during social interaction because they leak information, sometimes unintentionally, about our own internal goals and motivations. Without the ability to express and read emotions social interactions would break down. This course is an introduction theory and research on human emotion. The course will examine the following questions: What is an emotion and when do they develop? Are emotions universal across cultures? How can we improve our understanding of others' emotions? How do emotions shape inter-group interactions, well-being, and happiness across the life course? Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.

Through the lens of psychology, questions will be explored such as: Why are some people religious and spiritual? What are the diverse ways that people experience and express their religion and spirituality? How do we study religion and spirituality from a psychological perspective? What do religion and spirituality look like across the lifespan? Does religion shape prejudice, morality, violence, or altruism? What is the role of religion in promoting health? How do religion and religious organizations shape society and social attitudes? What does neuroscience reveal about religious and spiritual experiences?
