AS & A2 Level Psychology
Psychology is the study of human behaviour. The course includes research methods and perspectives, the study of mental processes, social interaction, the biological basis of behaviour, development issues and normal/abnormal behaviour therapies. You will study the AS for the first 15 weeks and the A2 for the second 15 weeks.
What will I study for AS?
Module 1: Cognitive Psychology is the study of the mental processes or activities. We will be studying the nature and structure of human memory. Developmental Psychology looks at how people develop throughout their lives from infancy to old age. You will look at Attachments in Development.
Module 2: Physiological Psychology (or Biological Psychology) looks at how the brain and nervous system operate and how our experiences can be affected by these physiological processes and mechanisms. In this unit we look at Stress. Individual Differences considers the ways people are different from one another and how these differences are perceived and measured. The topic for this unit is Abnormality.
Module 3: Social Psychology studies how people interact with one another and they come to make sense of what is going on in their social world. The topic in this section is Social Influence.
Research Methods looks at the different types of research carried out in Psychology, the research design and implementation and data analysis. It is also concerned with the ethics of research.
What will I study for A2?
Module 4: will comprise of Pro and Anti-Social Behaviour, Biological rhythms, Sleep and Dreaming, and
Motivation and Emotion.
Module 5: will comprise of Treating Mental Disorders and Perspectives, Ethics and Approaches.
The course has already begun so ill wait till september when it starts again so what do you think is it worth doing could i get a job quite easily with just that qualification or will i need to go to uni, which i beleive im a little old to start at 20.
