Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behaviour. It will interest students who want to find out more about human thought and actions. During the course you will develop an understanding of the nature of science and psychological research methods. Research methods involves learning about how psychologists plan, design and conduct investigations, collect and analyse data, conduct statistical tests, display data using graphs and charts and form scientific hypotheses and conclusions. You will study social influence as to why we want to fit in and feel like we have to obey authority, the power of attachments including how children develop them and why they are important for our adult lives, how we store and forget information such as memories and the accuracy of witness statements, the origins of Psychology as a science and the various approaches that make up the subject (Biological, cognitive and learning approaches) and the defining characteristics of OCD, depression and phobias and how we treat them.
