Students will begin by examining the foundations of psychology as a social science by understanding the various methods used by psychologists, including experiments, correlational studies, and case studies. Students will then examine topics in Social Psychology such as conformity, obedience, persuasion, prejudice, social identity, group behavior, and altruism. Students will tackle the various categorizations of disorders in Abnormal Psychology such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, personality disorders, trauma, and stress, and will cap off the course with an analysis of mental health treatment through the lens of contemporary psychological research. Using case studies, classic experiments, discussions, media analysis, and collaborative activities, students will investigate the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence behavior and mental health. This course also explores evidence-based approaches to therapy, health psychology, and the importance of reducing stigma surrounding mental illness. Emphasizing critical thinking, empathy, and scientific inquiry, this course helps students better understand themselves, others, and the role psychology plays in everyday life.  \nSection II: NJSLS: New Jersey Student Learning Standards/Learning Objectives:  \n1. 2020 New Jersey Student Learning Standards – Social Studies:  \n● “…Today’s challenges are complex, have global implications, and are connected to people, places, and events of the past. The study of social studies focuses on deep understanding of concepts that enable students to think critically and systematically about local, regional, national, and global issues. Authentic learning experiences that enable students to apply content knowledge, develop social studies skills, and collaborate with students from around the world prepare New Jersey students for college, careers, and civic life. The natural integration of technology in social studies education allows students to overcome geographic borders, apply scientific and mathematical analysis to historical questions and contemporary issues, appreciate cultural diversity, and experience events through the examination of primary sources. The 2020 New Jersey Student Learning Standards – Social Studies (NJSLS-2020) are informed by national and state standards and other documents such as the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards, as well as those published by the National Center for History Education, National Council for Social Studies, National Council for Geographic Education, Center for Civic Education, National Council on Economic Education, National Assessment of Educational Progress, and the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. Social studies instruction occurs throughout the K-12 spectrum, building in sophistication of learning about history, economics, geography, and civics at all ages.”  \n● 2023 New Jersey Student Learning Standards English Language Arts:  \n○ “A New Jersey education in English Language Arts builds readers, writers, and communicators prepared to meet the demands of college and career and to engage as productive American citizens with global responsibilities. Students will develop the necessary skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening that are the foundations for creative and purposeful expression in language; read rich, challenging texts that build their knowledge of the world, grow their confidence and identities as readers, and develop critical thinking skills and vocabulary necessary for long-term success engage in regul","cbCaiteUFoSuqoXv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiteUFoSuqoXv","pdf",385221,"English","# Section I: Course Description\n## Social and Abnormal Psychology overview\n# Section II: NJSLS: New Jersey Student Learning Standards/Learning Objectives\n## 2020 New Jersey Student Learning Standards – Social Studies\n## 2023 New Jersey Student Learning Standards English Language Arts\n## Standard 8.1 (Computer Science) and 8.2 (Design Thinking)\n## Standard 9.4 (Life Literacies and Key Skills)","[{\"question\":\"What topics are covered in Social and Abnormal Psychology?\",\"answer\":\"Students study social influences on behavior and psychological disorder development, understanding, and treatment.
