Psychology is the fascinating study of mind and behaviour of the individual. Psychology involves analysis of various theories of behaviour and the consideration of research studies which evaluate these theories. You will be encouraged to think critically when analysing why people behave in the way that they do- for example why do some people obey orders and others do not? Why do some people develop Schizophrenia? Which treatment for OCD is most successful? Throughout the A-level course you will learn the following topics Social Influence, Memory, Attachment and Abnormality’. You will also study and evaluate the following topics in great depth- Schizophrenia, Gender and Forensic Psychology. A range of Psychological approaches will be explored, with a focus on Biopsychology. Through the study of ‘Research methods’ you will learn how psychologists conduct their research, and also why psychology is considered to be a science. Finally, you will study the way in which psychologists carry out statistical tests on the data that they gather when carrying out a psychological experiment.
