CLASS DEMONSTRATIONS:
During each class (day or evening class), there are three groups of maximum 7 students each who will present a class demo for a maximum of 10 minutes (all included!) A class demo can be a classroom experiment, a class survey, a role play, an appropriate video and so on.
Guidelines:
- For the demo, take an experiment or study that has not been treated in depth in the book (with a figure or a table) or in the PowerPoint presentation !!
- The week before class, send in a proposal for a demonstration.
- Even if the demo is rather an illustration than a class experiment, you should try to involve the students actively. For example, for an illustration or observation (e.g., video), you can give the students an observation task, which they must perform each time after having seen a part of the video.
- Note that the demo itself should be preferentially in DUTCH as this is the mother language of the majority of the students; otherwise the demo is in English.
- Collect the data in the classroom and provide a statistical analysis of the results using a chi-square test (preferably by collecting the data during class by raising hands). If you feel necessary, the report might contain a more appropriate statistical test.
- At the end of the demo, make a link to the textbook and/or theory.
- Try to make critical comments on your demo. Do not limit yourself to the comment that the experimental context is less than ideal because of the classroom situation, but try to make more substantive comments (e.g., Is there an confounding variable?)
- Student groups that conducted a demo the week/class before (so-called shadow class groups) are required to give critical comments about the current demo.
- A scientific report of about 10 pages will be written on the demo.
- A selection of these demos, based on the best reports, will become part of the exam (for everyone).
- Prepare three multiple-choice exam questions (with four alternatives and indicating the correct answer) and send them electronically; a selection of (adjusted) questions will be used during the exam.

RECORDINGS
All classroom courses during the day are recorded (new recordings and / or reuse of previously created recordings). See electronic learning platform for access.
EXERCISES
The results of your group's demo are to be statistically processed and reported in a scientific report. The introduction of this report should not focus on the link with the textbook, but should rather analyze the literature on this specific research question (e.g., previous research about it).
Clear and logical language and reasoning is part of the evaluation. The report should be submitted in English, using correct and fluent language.
To give sufficient time to write the report, you hand it in no later than four weeks after the presentation of the demo (and at the latest at the start of the exams) in an electronic version. If the deadline is on a holiday, then move the deadline to the next working day.
This course is about social or interpersonal relationships, in particular about about the evolution of human relationship, the neuroscience of social mentalizing, aggressive or prosocial behavior, social interaction, cooperation and conflict, intimate relationships and emotions between partners, friends and / or colleagues at work. Your intention should be to understand and learn the main ideas and theories in this field.
The course consists of a series of lectures in which the main points - concepts, theories, research and applications - will be explained using a textbook and PowerPoint presentations. Questions and discussions will be encouraged as far as possible.
De beoordeling bestaat uit volgende opdrachtcategorieën:
Examen Schriftelijk bepaalt 75% van het eindcijfer
ZELF Verslag bepaalt 25% van het eindcijfer
Binnen de categorie Examen Schriftelijk dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:
Binnen de categorie ZELF Verslag dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:
What you need to learn for the exam is an outline of the theoretical models and approaches and key illustrations and studies. From the illustrations (figures, tables) in the textbook or PowerPoint presentations you should learn the general design of each study and the main conclusions (theory and practice).
A selection of the students’ scientific reports will be made available to everyone via the electronic learning platform, and so can serve as a refresher of these demos (to recall what was discussed in the classroom - the design and methods, results, methodological limitations and link with the textbook).
Examination Method:
Dutch: written multiple-choice exam (No oral continuation); English: oral exam
Marks:
- 5 points out of 20 for the report
- 15 points out of 20 for the course (lectures + PowerPoint presentations)
Partial transfers:
- the report
- the exam
