Out of the 15 core studies for AS Psychology, you'll be taught ten in class. But the world is an uncertain place: sometimes you have the sniffles or other commitments and you miss lessons. Sometimes you just want to go over what you learned in class or revise for exams. So, to help you out we're putting up all the teaching resources on this site, all the slideshows and handouts and the end-of-topic assessments too. So what are you waiting for?
Social Psychology looks at how we are affected by being in social situations - by the behaviour of our peer group, by role models, by being put into a uniform or made to feel anonymous, powerful or helpless.

Cognitive Psychology looks at our thought processes and tries to work out the "rules" behind things like memory, language and identity. It is the study of thought itself.

The Psychology of Individual Differences looks at what makes us unique and unusual. It includes abnormal psychology, the difference between madness and sanity.
We will be posting an Individual Differences page with links to the studies by Thigpen & Cleckley (1954), Rosenhan (1973) and Griffiths (1994)
