A-level心理学考纲更新！对复习更加友好了！

从2024年开始，CAIE考试局的A-level心理学课程就要采用新考纲了，赶快来和我看看有哪些知识点进行了增删，别让功夫下错方向。

A-level心理学是围绕这一科目的六大核心领域展开的——社会心理学、 认知心理学、发展心理学、精神病理学、生物心理学、研究方法。考法有简答题、论述题、情景题和实验设计题等等，没有选择题或填空题。

研究方法部分最主要的变化是去掉了Natural Experiment，增加了Longitudinal Studies，学习难度没有太大变化。

In the research methodology section we have reviewed the content for clarity. The main changes are:

removal of natural experiments

addition of longitudinal studies

revision of the ethics in animal studies to reflect the new core studies

reorganisation of data analysis.

剩下4个章节中，新考纲换掉了几项Core Studies，影响不是很大，具体变化如下▼

Issues and Debates出现了新知识点idiographic VS nomothetic。改版后Abnormal Psychology换名为Clinical Psychology，其他没有变化。

新考纲对每个Option需要掌握的Key Studies做出明确划分，要求也更清晰，这个改动对学生的学习是有帮助的，学生能更清楚地知道哪些Studies需要了解细节，哪些不需要，目标也更加明确了。

For each of the key studiescandidates should show knowledge and understanding of

• the context of the study and relationship to other studies the main theories/explanationsincluded in the study. the aim(s)andhypotheses of the study [if stated

A-level心理课程作为一门文理兼备的人文社科类学科，它既需要同学具有较好的理科思维，能理解和设计实验并解释相关数据，又需要良好的批判性思维和语言表达能力。
