A2 Level Psychology - Tapa blanda

"Eysenck is one of the best known psychologists in Europe and perhaps the best known A-level psychology writer, and this book has seemed a long time coming for fans of his clear, authoritative style ...This book serves its purpose well; providing those new to psychology with concise, informative text on theories and research methods covering everything from measures of dispersion through to how to write a psychology report. As if we expected anything less." – Kelly Bristow, The Henley College, Oxfordshire, in The Psychologist

"This excellent text will be an invaluable resource for both teachers and students of A-Level Psychology. There is detailed coverage of the AQA-A specification, including helpful advice on examination preparation, and I found the clarity of presentation and helpful features in each chapter make the material very accessible." - Dr Dave Putwain, Senior Lecturer in Psychology, Edge Hill University

"Written by experienced psychologists from varying backgrounds, pupils and teachers alike will find this book helpful in covering all the aspects of the new A2 Psychology prospectus. The 'Psychology in Action' sections are particularly fascinating. The more biological aspects of the course are covered clearly and concisely. The book will particularly appeal to course and lesson planners who can also incorporate the various presentations, exercises, activities and multiple choice questions from the related on-line site." - Linda Fletcher, experienced Psychology teacher and head of department (retired), and member of the Association for the Teaching of Psychology

This thoroughly updated edition of the bestselling Psychology for A2 Level has been written specifically for the new AQA-A Psychology A2-level specification for teaching from September 2009. It is the ideal follow-up to AS Level Psychology, 4th edition by the same author, but also to any AS-level textbook.

This full-colour book, which builds on the ideas and insights explored at AS Level to promote a deeper understanding of psychology, is written in an engaging and accessible style by a highly experienced author. It incorporates 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.

At this level, students select options from a range of specified topics and this book includes chapters on all of the compulsory and optional topics that are on the new A2 syllabus in sufficient depth for the requirements of the course. It has a new focus on the nature and scope of psychology as a science with an emphasis on how science works, and guidance on how to engage students in practical scientific research activities. Presented in a clear, reader-friendly layout, the book is packed with advice on exam technique, hints and tips to give students the best chance possible of achieving the highest grade.

The book is supported by our comprehensive package of online student and teacher resources, A2 Psychology Online.
