    Teaching

    Description

    In this seminar, we will focus on the basics of what a group is, how social influence and power can be defined and what this means for perception and behaviour, cooperation and collaboration, conflict and aggression, and negotiation and conflict resolution. We will then apply this to various fields and discuss case studies and empirical research in areas such as team work, leadership, online vs. onsite power and social influence, fake news and misinformation, AI as agent and technology, political influence and civil society, and similar.
