This course examines the intersection of social psychology and food culture, exploring how social, psychological, and cultural factors influence eating behaviours and food choices. Students will analyze the role of group dynamics, social norms, identity, and cultural traditions in shaping dietary practices. The course will also cover topics such as the impact of media on food preferences, the psychology of eating in social contexts, and the cultural significance of food rituals and traditions. Through a combination of theoretical frameworks and real-world case studies, students will gain a deeper understanding of how social influences shape individual and collective food-related behaviours.
