For AS Psychology, you study Social Influence, Memory, Attachments, Psychopathology, Approaches with Biopsychology, and Research methods. For the A level, you study Social Influence, Memory, Attachments, Psychopathology, Approaches, Biopsychology, Research methods, Issues and debates, Relationships, Schizophrenia and Forensic Psychology. In each topic area, you will be looking at the essential studies that have been carried out by psychologists. There is an opportunity to investigate areas such as why people obey, how do you decide if a person is normal or not, and are you more likely to develop into a criminal if your relationship with your parents is not good. The evidence for and against some interesting topics is investigated on the A level course such, what factors are important in keeping relationships from breaking up, how does offender profiling work, and can Schizophrenia be cured? This subject encourages candidates to develop skills of analysis, evaluation and research as well as the ability to apply their knowledge of psychology to social, cultural and contemporary issues. Skills which enable students to become more independent and critical thinkers.
