Description

AICE Psychology is designed to enable students to develop a greater knowledge and understanding of psychological research, think independently and make informed judgments on ethical issues, and apply their knowledge to novel situations and current debates. Students will be asked to analyze core studies with consideration for the following key concepts: nature versus nurture, ethics in psychological research, choice of psychological research methods, the idea that no single view in psychology is definitive, and the relevance of psychology in contemporary society.
