Course Description
Psychology is the scientific study of processes underlying human behavior, such as sensation and perception, learning and thinking, motivation, and emotion. It covers a broad range of topics, and the purpose of this course is to provide a general survey of those topics. It is difficult to cover the many topics of psychology in a survey course, and it involves a lot of work and time. For some of you this may be your only exposure to psychology, but for others it will lay the groundwork for more advanced courses.

Course Description
Young people's sexual development, behavior, and upbringing have changed drastically over the past few decades. While sex used to be a topic people simply would not talk about as short as 50 years ago – especially when it came to youth - young people's sexual health had become a priority in research and public health policy today. While many concerns exist about young people's sexuality (e.g., regarding the impact of exposure to Internet porn and online dating apps), the sexual health of youth in the Netherlands is relatively good, compared to many other countries. Recent research even suggests that young people's sexual health has improved over the past decade. This raises the question to what extent societal developments relate to young people's sexual development and behavior. This course analyzes young people's sexual development and behavior. It does so by addressing different theoretical models explaining young people's sexual behavior (e.g., the evolutionary, socio-constructivist, and bio-psycho-social model); analyzing potential determinants and consequences of (un)healthy sexual behavior; and linking scientific research to (recent-) societal developments and debates, both in the Netherlands and worldwide. Lectures are provided by experts from a variety of organizations, including Utrecht University, Rutgers, the Netherlands Institute for Social Research (SCP), and the University of Amsterdam.

Course Description
Ever since Freud, the unconscious mind has been a critical part of our understanding of the human mind and behavior. Despite its power to captivate popular imagination, scientific psychology's treatment of unconsciousness has a history of vicissitudes. This course traces the historical origin and subsequent development of the idea of the unconscious mind in psychological theories and practice. Freud's notion of unconsciousness, as well as lesser known, but critically important theorists' contributions are examined and their contemporary implications are discussed. The modern methods used in the contemporary examination of unconscious processes are introduced, and the current understanding of psychological unconsciousness is discussed from neuroscientific, perceptual, cognitive, developmental, social, and clinical perspectives. The course surveys the uses of the scientific understanding of unconscious processes in a variety of applied contexts and explores implications of the psychological knowledge about the unconscious mind in contemporary culture and society. This includes a critical examination of the evidence for the role of unconscious processes in abnormal human behavior and discussions about implications of the unconscious mind for identity and responsibility.
