43498-01 - Kolloquium: Psychological Theory in Consumer Behavior (6 KP)
| Semester | Frühjahrsemester 2021 |
| Angebotsmuster | Jedes Frühjahrsem. |
| Dozierende | C. Miguel Brendl (miguel.brendl@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn) |
| Inhalt | The course is appropriate for master’s students in business, economics, or psychology, as well as for PhD students. You need to have either taken “Microeconomics and Psychology of Decision Making” or, if you are not a student of business/economics in Basel, an introductory psychology course. Although the course takes numerous applications from the academic field of consumer behavior, it focuses on general psychological theory. Specifically, it teaches you how to conduct research with a psychological/experimental orientation. For that reason it is a precondition for writing a master’s thesis in behavioral marketing. But beyond that it is of particular interest if you want to explore what academic research is like. -For those without a prior degree in psychology the course offers a crash course in social and cognitive psychology as it relates to preferences (attitudes, feelings, evaluative judgments, choice). -For those with a prior degree in psychology the course offers learning how to derive behavioral predictions from theories, as opposed to just describing theories. This skill goes beyond merely describing a theory and is important for anyone who wants to actually use a psychological theory. During the seminar we discuss your homework solutions to a set of exercises. From this discussion we draw inferences about theory itself and about designing experiments. The entire course is in English. |
| Lernziele | • Obtaining an overview of fundamental psychological concepts in preference formation and choice. • Learning about the nature of theory construction and theory testing by means of experiments (heavily emphasized). |

| Hinweise zur Prüfung | Format of the Class Sessions The class discussion focuses on exercises. Every session your homework consists of readings and exercises that ask you to make predictions for an experiment. Every session I randomly draw some students to present their exercise solutions, which we then discuss. Given this format, it is necessary that you have completed the assigned readings and exercises before each session, and that you are present for each session. A detailed write-up of an exercise will definitely be part of the grade. I have not yet decided whether the following will also contribute: your contributions to the class discussion; the presentations you give for both, the exercises and the readings. |
