Cambridge International AS and A Level Psychology learners develop their appreciation of the subject by exploring the ways in which psychology is conducted. As part of their studies, learners also review important research; this provides an insight into the ways in which psychology has been applied, thereby leading to a better understanding of key approaches, research methods and issues and debates. Mathematics and research methods requirements are thoroughly covered with practice questions on most spreads and ideas for research activities in each chapter. Evaluation material uses a three-paragraph structure (point, evidence and conclusion) and includes counterpoints to develop discussion skills. Approved by AQA and written by leading psychology authors, Cara Flanagan, Matt Jarvis and Rob Liddle, the 2nd Edition of this popular Student Book will support students through the AS / Year 1 course and help them thoroughly prepare for their exams.

Resources align to the syllabus they support, and have been through a detailed quality assurance process. The syllabus reflects four core areas of psychology, namely biological, cognitive, learning and social; it also relates psychology to abnormality, consumer behaviour, health and organisations. From the 2018 examination series, this syllabus will replace Cambridge International AS and A Level Psychology (9698). Each topic is presented on one spread to see the whole picture with description and evaluation clearly separated.
