Psychology A Level Psychology is the Science of the mind. The human mind is the most complex machine on Earth. It is the source of all thought and behaviour. Any attempt to explain why humans think and behave in the way that we do will inevitably be linked to one or another branch of Psychology. AS students will study: Biological, Cognitive, Developmental, Individual and Social explanations or behaviour. A2 students will take and in-depth look at: Issues with Mental health, Criminal psychology and Child psychology. What all these different approaches to Psychology have in common is a desire to explain the behaviour of individuals based on the workings of the mind. In every area, psychologists apply scientific methodology; they formulate theories, test hypotheses through observation and experiment and analyse with statistical techniques that help them identify important findings.
