Have you ever wondered if aggressive behaviour is learned or inherited? Or why do some people conform? With A Level Psychology, you will explore the human mind and behaviours, understanding key theories that underpin the human experience.
Do the experiences you had before the age of five really shape the person you are today? What happens if babies don’t form an attachment to their caregiver? A Level Psychology will give you an understanding of the way people think, why people behave in specific ways, and how different areas of the brain work and the functions they carry out.
Psychology has been defined as the ‘science of the mind and behaviour’. Essentially, psychology is all about the study of people. We are all amateur psychologists, every time we try and work out why someone acted the way they did or try to predict how someone might behave or react.
You will study a range of topics including aggression, social influences, mental health, research methods, memory, relationships and attachment.
