The Center for Research on Cognition and Behavior is an independent interdisciplinary research unit at the SWPS University in Sopot (Poland), where social psychologists and organizational psychologists collaborate on topics related to social cognition and behavior.
We meet every week for a “Journal Club” seminar, each Wed. at 11.00 a.m. (CET), during which we discuss the latest literature from the social psychological journals, research methods, and our member’s research results (LOOK AT OUR CALENDAR).
