PSYCHOLOGY SORTED BOOK 2 - APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY: Key research for students and teachers

Written by two experienced psychology teachers, this is the second in the Psychology Sorted series for students and teachers. It is structured to help use selectively the wealth of psychological research that is relevant to the IB Diploma Psychology syllabus. The book has been developed independently of the International Baccalaureate Organization (IB), which in no way endorses it. However, the topics and content are especially chosen to be relevant to the 2019 IB Diploma psychology curriculum, while also providing useful support to teachers and students of other curricula, including those taught as part of university courses. The book provides organized overview grids suggesting classic and recent key studies for the option topics of Abnormal Psychology, Development, Health and Human Relationships. Links are made between content and studies from other areas, including the core approaches. There are hyperlinks and details for further relevant resources, journal articles and media talks and summaries of every study, written in clear language and including evaluation points. We have also included critical thinking suggestions for each topic and a full bibliography. Further support is available from the authors' Psychology Sorted blog.
