Crick and Dodge’s (1994) reformulated Social Information Processing (SIP) theory concerns decision making processes, and is particularly salient when considering aggressive and criminal behavior.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, Decision Making of Inmates: Testing Social Information Processing Concepts Using Vignettes created by Kendra N Bowen, PhD et al in 2016.
