Product Description
Product Description
This thoroughly revised and updated second edition of Psychology for AS Level takes into account all the amendments to the AQA-A syllabus since the last edition was produced. The text is mapped more closely to the specification, making this an ideal resource for students following the course. This edition has responded effectively to changes made by AQA to the exam format. It is now necessary for students to demonstrate understanding of twenty-five key research topic areas, through knowledge of related experiments and studies. Questions may require students to present appropriate studies either in APFCC format (Aims, Procedures, Findings, Conclusions and Criticisms), or with awareness of the wider theoretical and methodological context. Both methods of presentation are featured in Psychology for AS Level (Second Edition), with twenty-five Key Studies mentioned discursively throughout the text supported by new stimulus material, and in APFCC format in an appendix at the back for easy reference. AQA have also identified a list of specific Key Terms which students may be required to define. Definitions of these Key Terms are highlighted in boxes on relevant pages, as well as identified in the comprehensive glossary at the back. In addition to encompassing the most up-to-date syllabus developments, this book retains both the easy writing style and effective features of the previous edition. It includes discussion points, illustrations, case studies and detailed chapter summaries to enhance the study of the six key areas of memory, childhood attachment, stress, abnormality, social influence and research methods and consequently will be a valuable textbook for any student covering psychology at AS level.

Format:Paperback
Eysenck's Psychology for AS Level is the most comprehensive book I've read to date- it covers everything you could possibly need. In fact, you could probably teach yourself with it, such is the depth of information here. For students interested in studying Psychology at university, this is an excellent text to break down the preconceptions that Psychology is all about Freudian principles. It explores the wider world of Psychology and offers an unbiased look at all the major studies necessary for AS Level.
Key studies are both highlighted in the main sections of the book (according to the AQA syllabus) as well as in their own appendix. This has proved invaluable for revision purposes.
Simply put, even if your school or college does not recommend this book, it should be regarded an essential purpose!

I absolutely love this book! i used it for AS (and the following book for A2) and came out with an A in A-level psychology. i am now doing a teaching degree and am planning to buy both books because they are so incredibly helpful and i miss them so much! i haven't found any other books with the information that i need, plus i already know the set up of the books and what they contain. So buy them!!
Format:Paperback
I found this book extremely helpful when studying AS psychology, I recommend it as a compulsary read for all who study AS psychology as it is jargon-free and displayed in the way you can easily understand, this book helped me a lot through my AS and I think it contributed a lot towards my A in AS Psychology.
