Social Cues and Group Dynamics
Understand subtext, indirect communication, and social cues in adolescent peer groups; analyse the psychology of in-group and out-group dynamics and why belonging can come at the cost of exclusion; understand gossip as a social bonding and status mechanism, and its costs; develop strategies for navigating social hierarchies without compromising values; distinguish between assertiveness and aggression in peer settings; understand how to respond to exclusion — whether experiencing it or witnessing it
