The Social Psychology 2 course should be viewed in perfect articulation and complementarity with the Social Psychology I discipline, taught in the 1st semester. The scientific study of social thought and behavior will be continued. The main objective of the course is to contribute to an in-depth understanding of the main themes of social psychology related to intra and intergroup psychological processes and dynamics, social behavior, and the nature of social interactions. It is also intended for students to be able to debate and critically analyze the program contents, and to relate some of the issues to everyday situations. By the end of the course, students should be able to: a) understand the dynamics and main social processes included in the program; b) problematize and critically analyze social behavior and thought, as well as some of the main social problems; c) collect and analyze information from different sources, including the analysis of documents and multimedia contents directly or indirectly related to the intentions and program of the course.

The present Curricular Unit, situated within the scope of advanced training for Social Workers, aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the general perspectives of social psychology, emphasizing the contributions of Social Psychology to social intervention. Drawing upon applied research produced by contemporary social psychology, the organization of the contents allows for the development of integrated ways of critically thinking about theory and research in social psychology and promoting reflection on human action produced in social contexts.
This articulation between the contributions of social psychology and its levels of analysis in understanding social reality, at the level of intra-individual, interindividual, group, and intergroup processes, will enable students to understand the importance of social reality for the structuring of the human being, and how to promote intervention skills in the social sphere. Overall, the aim is to promote the acquisition of scientific knowledge and the development of professional skills that integrate knowledge from social psychology with those of social work.
