Objectives
Programme
1. Psychology as a science and as a humanities. The difficulties and usefulness of psychological experimentation. The concept of expectancy characteristics.
2. Introduction to some classic experiments - how psychology became an experimental science.
3. Replication of classical experiments to control mood. The effect of good and bad mood on thinking.
4. Evidence and limitations of the James-Lange theory.
5. Damasio's experiments. The concept of the somatic marker and its mechanisms of action.
6. Learned emotions. Learned inertia, learned optimism. The positive psychology approach.
7. The structure of motivations. Rat demand curves and Giffen's laws. Human-specific and non-human-specific motivations.
8. Structure of purely human motivations. Relationship to Gödel's theorem. Manifestations of Gödel's theorem in different sciences.
9. Gödelian mechanisms in psychology. The concept of second-order change.
10. The notion of emotional intelligence - and the notion of intelligence in general.
11. The concept, measurement and mechanisms of creativity.
12. The role of emotions in the economy. Predictable irrationality.
13. The structure of economic motivations. Money as a motivator. Work motivations.
14. The logic of emotions: the logic of evolution. Evolution, unlike the engineer, does not plan, but gags. The lovable mess.

no examination, the subject concludes with a mid-term grade.
Preliminary examination: none
Method of awarding the grade: based on the sum of the two successful midterm scores.
