Neural Mechanisms of Social Behavior and Interaction

This exam examines the neural mechanisms that govern social behaviors and interactions. Emphasis will be placed on understanding how neurobiological processes influence social cognition, emotional regulation, and interpersonal dynamics.

A comprehensive knowledge of these topics is vital for understanding not only individual behavior but also broader social phenomena such as group dynamics and societal change. Insights from this exam facilitate advancements in fields like psychology, neuroscience, and social policy.

The exam will test students' verbal articulation of theoretical principles related to the neuroscience of social behavior. Students are expected to demonstrate their understanding through clear and articulate explanations.

Students are encouraged to integrate perspectives from both social psychology and neuroscience, allowing for a richer discussion of empirical findings and theoretical implications.
