This book provides simple, clear, in-depth explanations of all the
topics in the AQA GCSE specification 4180 syllabus but it will
prove invaluable to students at many levels on many courses and to
the independent reader. It can be used as a stand-alone home study
course, as a classroom text, as a reference text or just for
pleasure for those who love to think about what makes people tick.
Psychology describes up-to-date research as well as some classic
psychology studies and even debunks one or two psychology research
myths. It leads the reader through all the topics in the syllabus
as a teacher would in a classroom setting. Topics are presented as
a series of lessons followed by "Check Your Understanding"
sections, which are designed to help you check and retain the
information in each lesson. An assessment record provided at the
end of the book will help you keep track of your progress. Lessons
are interactive with many opportunities to jot down your thoughts
and reactions, reflect on how a topic relates to your own
experience, discuss with other people and become more involved with
the material presented. Students can pinpoint the topics they are
studying for GCSE by using the table mapping the GCSE specification
against the lessons in this book. For those studying outside formal
classrooms there are guidelines about how best to approach your
studies. The book assumes that readers have no previous knowledge
of psychology and among the topics covered are: * Conformity and
Obedience - would you press a button to kill someone just because
you are told to do so? Many people would, it seems. * Sex and
Gender - do girls and boys, men and women behave so differently? If
so, why? * Memory - how does memory work and how accurate is it? *
Non-Verbal Communication - do we reveal our true feelings in our
body language? * Development of Personality - what exactly is
Anti-Social Personality Disorder? * Prejudice and Discrimination -
are we bound to discriminate against people who are unlike us? *
Learning - how to remove your fear of spiders/snakes/flying/open
spaces or anything else using the principles of learning. *
Aggression - is aggression born into us? Is it in our hormones? Or
do we learn to fight? * Research Methods and the Ethics of
Psychology - psychology is based on evidence, not just ideas. But
what type of study constitutes good evidence and how should we
treat the people in our studies?
