PSY2046 — Psychology and Religion
PSY 2046 - Psychology and Religion PSY 2046 - Psychology and Religion This course will introduce students to the major issues, research, and theoretical approaches to the psychology of religion. The study of religion has prompted more questions than answers regarding various phenomena such as religious conversion, the nature of cults, understanding religious belief and behavior, and the socio-cultural blending of mysticism, religion, and science. The course will examine religiosity from the psychological perspective as it pertains to personality development, mental health, social behavior, and human existential experience. The focus of study in this course will be on the human mind as it grapples with the psychological realm of religion and does not attempt to validate or negate the tenants of any specific religion.
