A2 LEVEL PSYCHOLOGY By Michael W. Eysenck Royal Holloway University of London
A2 Level Psychology is written by the distinguished psychologist and bestselling textbook author, Michael W. Eysenck, incorporating contributions, advice and feedback from a host of A-Level teachers and psychologists including Philip Banyard, Evie Bentley, Clare Charles, Diana Dwyer, Mark Griffiths, and Craig Roberts. Designed specifically for the new AQA-A Psychology A2 Level specification for teaching from September 2009, this is the ideal follow-up to AS Level Psychology, 4th Edition, but also to any AS-Level textbook. Written in an engaging and accessible style, the book includes chapters on all of the compulsory and optional topics that are on the new A2 syllabus, covering each topic in sufficient depth for the requirements of the A2 course. Key highlights of this book include: A new focus on the nature and scope of psychology as a science:
This is one of the most significant elements of the new specification. Our book addresses this by: • Integrating research methods and ethics throughout all chapters as well as in the Research Methods chapter. • Emphasising ‘How Science Works’ with new text boxes providing examples of practical research activities that students can try.
• Providing guidance throughout on ethical issues and methods, both within the text and in exam hints throughout the book. Packed with exam strategy advice:
• We include a strong emphasis on exam technique, devoting a whole chapter to preparing for the A2 exam. This offers guidance on how to study and how to do well in the exam. • Throughout the book are exam hints and tips on picking up marks, and we provide revision questions at the end of each chapter. In full colour with user-friendly layout and helpful features:
• Produced in full colour with colour-coded chapters for easy reference, the book retains the accessible layout, thorough content, pedagogic features, and excellent writing style of previous editions.
• Features include clear section summaries, case studies, key- term boxes, self-assessment questions, activities, exam hints, text boxes, numerous figures and cartoons, further reading sections and references to accompanying online materials.
