Conspiracy theories explain important events as secret plots perpetrated by powerful and malevolent groups. What are the psychological factors that drive the popularity of this kind of belief system? What are the consequences of adopting these theories? In this seminar we address psychological scientific research that addresses each of these questions, and consider how well this research can account for specific past and present conspiracy theories.

PSY160TG . German T C M 4 Years Ago

By far one of the top best professors in the PBS department. She is so caring, welcoming, and really enthusiastic to interact with. I took both of her PSY 145 and PSY160 courses and based on my experience she teaches beautifully. Her exams are transparent and no way tricky. No lie Im going to miss taking her classes. Trust me take her classes!

PSY1 . German T C M 2 Months Ago

Easiest class ever, quiz online once a week, section attendance does matter, as long as you show up you'll get the points, no midterm or final

PSY1 . German T C M 2 Months Ago

LOVE her so much. First class I ever took at UCSB and I made the best choice. Super engaging and genuinely interesting material. She is very understanding and lenient. Grades are basically just from quizzes, which are all online, and participation in sections. Very light but fun course, highly recommend.

Professor German was honestly one of my favorite professors during fall quarter. I took Psy 1 just for the credits but learned so much and it was actually super interesting. Super easy class and attendance is not mandatory. Grades are based on section attendance, weekly worksheets and open-note quizzes. Definitely take it!
