AQA A Level Psychology

UPDATED 20161003 14:28:42

A Level Psychology is a consistently popular and successful subject at The Streetly Academy. The A Level course will not only deepen your understanding of Psychological theories and studies but will also develop your skills of analysis. The AQA A Level course includes five exam units, which covers Social Influence, Memory, Attachments, Psychopathology, Approaches in Psychology, Biopsychology and Research Methods. In Year 12 we investigate how attachments impact on relationships, how memories develop and the accuracy of eyewitness testimony. In a thought provoking abnormality unit we explore the limits of the definitions of abnormality. In Year 13 we explore how relationships form and why they break down. We consider the factors which lead to aggressive behaviour and how biological processes explain these levels of aggression. Eating behaviour covers the topical issue of eating disorders. A fourth unit explores explanations and treatments of schizophrenia. The mass media are also analysed to assess their impacts on human behaviour. You will develop knowledge and understanding of psychological concepts, theories, research studies, research methods and ethical issues in relation to the specified topics.
