OCR Psychology AS Core Studies and Research Methods (PDF)
Synopsis
This book prepares students for all the elements of the OCR AS exam. It gives the who, what, where, and even the why of each of the core studies. It also looks at some of the work that followed the studies. Specifically it covers: Core studies: an abstract of each study plus ample details of the aims, method, results and conclusions. Guidance is given on how each study can be evaluated and a wealth of extra materials is provided for each study including practical activities, discussion ideas, multiple-choice and exam-style questions, diagrammatic summaries, further reading and video links. It contains background to each core study: information about related research before and after the study; and biographical details of the researcher(s). Sixteen issues are discussed to cover the themes of the course and prepare students for the long-answer questions. A 'Psychological Investigations' chapter helps students to understand research methods in psychology, necessary for the Psychological Investigations exam and also for understanding the core studies themselves. Short and long answer exam-style questions are answered by students with examiner's comments. The book is presented in magazine-style spreads to aid the learning process, and has been thoroughly revised to match the requirements of the new OCR specification. The book's accompanying website contains Answers to all exam questions.Book details
