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. The different disciplines of Psychology are extremely wide-ranging. In A-level Psychology units include Cognitive Psychology: Memory, Research Methods and Statistics, Developmental Psychology (attachment), Social Psychology, Origins of Psychology, Biological Psychology, Behavioural, Social and Cognitive approaches and Psychopathology. In the second year of Psychology, you will study Schizophrenia, Bio-psychology, Issues and Debates, Relationships, Aggression, Research Methods and Statistics and the Psychodynamic and Humanistic approaches in addition to the approaches you have learned in year 1. 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.
