The ‘Psychology of Communication’ explores the various ways in which we communicate with one another on both an individual and social level. This module aims to discuss both classic studies in communication and introduce students to new approaches to the study of social interaction. The module will examine theory, methodologies and real world applications of communication research in term one, leading to an in depth consideration of health communication and communicating health promotion strategies in term two.
