GEN ST 197 (E): This seminar will help students learn how to understand and critique research in the field of health psychology, including how to distinguish between rigorous science and “pop” psychology. At the same time it will encourage them to use this research as a tool to examine, reflect upon, and improve their own lives during a time that is typically marked by high levels of stress.
