We deal with psychology every day, yet how much do we really understand of what we have to deal with at work, at home, and when hanging out with friends? Most of what we do every day can be explained through psychological theories and principles. Being able to link our behaviours and those of others to these theories enables us to respond to situations more appropriately and learn from our responses to them. Understanding relevant concepts in psychology helps us to enhance our interpersonal skills, solve problems more effectively, and make informed decisions about how to deal with real-life situations that affect us on a day-to-day basis. This course will appeal to those who have always wondered what psychology is about and how it relates to everyday life. Using scenario-based learning, a popular e-learning approach, this course is designed to reveal direct links between theory and real-life situations so that students can learn about psychology through five different scenarios in everyday life covering some key concepts in psychology.
