OBJETIVO
En las especies gregarias, las relaciones sociales representan recursos
esenciales que determinan en gran medida la salud psicológica y física de
los individuos y su eficacia biológica (i.e., supervivencia y reproducción).
El estudio exhaustivo y la comprensión holista de las relaciones sociales
requiere una aproximación, como la psicobiológica, que integra
perspectivas tradicionalmente asociadas con la psicología y con la
biología, y que enfatiza el análisis comparativo y multinivel. El curso
revisará las principales teorías que intentan explicar la relación dialéctica
existente entre el comportamiento social de los individuos y los factores
ecológicos, demográficos, sociales, psicológicos y fisiológicos que lo
median.
PROGRAMA
