Written by Michael W. Eysenck, one of Europe’s leading psychologists, in his trademark accessible, student-friendly style, the chapters present concise and focused coverage of all topics covered in the AS Level Psychology syllabus. In accordance with the AQA-A specification, the book focuses on the nature and scope of psychology as a science with an emphasis on how science works, and provides guidance on how to engage students in practical scientific research activities. Numerous textbook features are provided to aid understanding.

As in previous editions the book is packed with advice on exam technique which will give students the best possible chance of achieving the highest grades.
