Psychology Department
The psychology curriculum at Guilford College is designed to familiarize students with current methods and theories in areas of investigation such as learning, personality, social interaction, motivation and perception. Sudents are encouraged to appreciate different approaches and points of view and to see how clinical and laboratory methods supplement each other. A student majoring in psychology may expect to develop rigorous habits of observation with reference to psychological phenomena; to become aware of the need for statistical knowledge in the manipulation of psychological data; to avoid the simple explanation; and to recognize the role of multiple causation in the determination of human behavior.
