Human beings and social interactions are complex. Why is it sometimes so easy to misunderstand others – or even to struggle to understand our own attitudes and behaviour?

Masterclass Overview:

This interactive Public Learning session explores some of the key influences that shape how we think, behave and interact with others. In particular, participants will consider the influence of personality and culture on human attitudes and behaviour, and how these factors can affect the way we perceive and respond to one another.

Combining theory, discussion and interactive exercises, the session provides an opportunity to better understand ourselves and the people around us, while developing greater awareness of the different influences at play in everyday human interaction.

Key Outcomes:

By the end of the session, participants will have had the opportunity to:

• Explore some of the influences that shape human attitudes and behaviour.
• Better understand the role of personality and culture in the way people behave and interact.
• Reflect on their own attitudes, behaviours and ways of relating to others.
• Develop greater awareness of why misunderstandings can occur between people.
• Apply insights through discussion and interactive exercises.

Benefits After the Session

Participants should leave with increased self-awareness and a better appreciation of why people may think, communicate and behave differently. This understanding can support more thoughtful interactions and stronger relationships, both professionally and personally.

Target Audience

The session is relevant to anyone interested in developing a better understanding of themselves and others, particularly people whose roles involve regular interaction, communication, teamwork or relationship-building.
