What Is Psychology?

Have a look at the British Psychology Society's (BPS) website and read through the 'Introduction to Psychology' and 'Psychological Terms' sections. You can access these via the 'Psychology and the Public' tab. Create a glossary of the following terms and revise their definitions, as you will be tested on them during your induction!

Use the www.simplypsychology.org website to read through the following pieces of research:

You will then need to create a revision booklet, set out in the format below, so that you can review your research when each study is looked at in class. Your booklet will be marked for its level of detail, attractiveness and clarity; it therefore must be in your own words!


Aims: What was it trying to find out?

Procedures: What
did the researchers actually do?

Findings: What were the results?

Conclusions: Do the findings support the original

aims of the experiment?

Evaluation: What were the strengths and weaknesses of the study? Has the study been replicated?
