2. What Is Psychology? | 什么是心理学？
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. It seeks to understand how we think, feel, and act both as individuals and in groups. Unlike everyday assumptions about people, psychology relies on empirical evidence gathered through carefully designed research. Psychologists explore everything from brain processes to social interactions, aiming to describe, explain, predict, and sometimes change behaviour.
心理学是对心理和行为的科学研究。它试图理解我们作为个体和群体如何思考、感受和行动。与日常对人的假设不同，心理学依赖于通过精心设计的研究所获得的实证证据。心理学家探索从大脑过程到社会互动的方方面面，旨在描述、解释、预测，有时甚至改变行为。
In the WJEC GCSE course, you will encounter different psychological perspectives, including biological, cognitive, developmental, social, and individual differences approaches. Each perspective offers a unique lens for understanding why we behave the way we do.
在WJEC GCSE课程中，你将接触不同的心理学视角，包括生物心理学、认知心理学、发展心理学、社会心理学和个体差异心理学。每个视角都提供了理解我们行为原因的独特透镜。
3. WJEC GCSE Psychology Course Overview | WJEC GCSE心理学课程概览
The WJEC GCSE Psychology qualification consists of two examined components. Component 1 (‘Psychology: Past to Present’) covers the five major psychological approaches and their classic studies, as well as an introduction to research methods. Component 2 (‘Psychology: Investigating Behaviour’) builds on this by focusing on contemporary debates, applications of psychology, and more advanced research methodology. Both are assessed through 1 hour 30 minute written examinations, each worth 50% of the final grade.
WJEC GCSE心理学资格证书包含两个考试单元。第一单元（“心理学：从过去到现在”）涵盖五个主要的心理学流派及其经典研究，以及研究方法的入门。第二单元（“心理学：行为探究”）在此基础上，聚焦当代争论、心理学的应用以及更高级的研究方法。两个单元均通过1小时30分钟的书面考试进行评估，各占总成绩的50%。
You will be expected to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of psychological theories, studies, and methods, as well as the ability to apply your knowledge to novel scenarios and evaluate research findings. The course encourages critical thinking and a scientific approach to human behaviour.
你需要展示对心理学理论、研究和方法的知识与理解，以及将知识应用到新情境和评估研究结果的能力。这门课程鼓励批判性思维和以科学方法探究人类行为。
4. Biological Psychology: The Brain and Behaviour | 生物心理学：大脑与行为
Biological psychology examines the relationship between our biology and our behaviour. You will learn about the structure and function of neurons, the process of synaptic transmission, and the roles of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. Key brain regions like the prefrontal cortex and amygdala are explored in relation to aggression, emotion, and decision-making.
生物心理学探究生物学与行为之间的关系。你将学习神经元的结构和功能、突触传递的过程，以及血清素和多巴胺等神经递质的作用。同时还会探讨前额叶皮层和杏仁核等关键脑区与攻击性、情绪和决策的关系。
One classic study in this area is Raine et al. (1997), which used brain scans to compare the brains of impulsive murderers with non-murderers, finding differences in areas linked to aggression. Understanding such studies will help you appreciate how biological factors can influence behaviour.
该领域的一项经典研究是Raine等人（1997）的研究，他们使用脑部扫描技术比较了冲动杀人犯与非杀人犯的大脑，发现了与攻击性相关脑区的差异。理解这类研究将帮助你认识到生物因素如何影响行为。
5. Cognitive Psychology: Memory and Information Processing | 认知心理学：记忆与信息加工
Cognitive psychology focuses on internal mental processes such as memory, perception, and problem-solving. You will study models of memory including the multi-store model, which distinguishes between sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Theories of forgetting, such as interference and retrieval failure, are also covered.
认知心理学关注诸如记忆、知觉和问题解决等内在心理过程。你将学习包括多储存模型在内的记忆模型，该模型区分了感觉记忆、短时记忆和长时记忆。还会涉及遗忘理论，如干扰和提取失败。
Eyewitness testimony research, including the work of Loftus and Palmer (1974), demonstrates how leading questions can distort memory. This topic not only helps you understand everyday memory errors but also has real-world implications for the criminal justice system.
目击者证词的研究，包括Loftus和Palmer（1974）的工作，表明引导性问题会如何扭曲记忆。这一课题不仅有助于你理解日常记忆错误，还对刑事司法系统具有现实意义。
6. Developmental Psychology: Attachment and Early Development | 发展心理学：依恋与早期发展
Developmental psychology studies how people grow and change across the lifespan, with a particular emphasis on childhood. You will explore attachment theory, focusing on the work of Bowlby and Ainsworth. The ‘Strange Situation’ procedure is used to identify attachment types: secure, insecure-avoidant, and insecure-resistant.
发展心理学研究人们如何在整个生命周期中成长和变化，尤其关注儿童期。你将探索依恋理论，重点是Bowlby和Ainsworth的研究。“陌生情境”程序被用来识别依恋类型：安全型、不安全回避型和不安全反抗型。
Understanding the influence of early attachment on later relationships and emotional development is a key part of this topic. You will also consider cultural variations in attachment and the debate about maternal deprivation.
理解早期依恋对后期人际关系和情绪发展的影响是本课题的关键内容。你还将思考依恋的文化差异以及关于母性剥夺的争论。
7. Social Psychology: Conformity, Obedience and the Bystander Effect | 社会心理学：从众、服从与旁观者效应
Social psychology investigates how individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others. You will examine classic studies on conformity (Asch, 1951) and obedience (Milgram, 1963), which reveal the surprising power of social pressure and authority. The bystander effect, as studied by Latané and Darley, explains why people are less likely to help in an emergency when others are present.
社会心理学研究个体如何受到他人真实、想象或隐含存在的影响。你将考察关于从众（Asch, 1951）和服从（Milgram, 1963）的经典研究，这些研究揭示了社会压力和权威的惊人力量。由Latané和Darley研究的旁观者效应解释了为什么有他人在场时，人们更不愿在紧急情况下伸出援手。
These studies raise important ethical and societal questions about personal responsibility and the power of the situation. They also demonstrate how situational factors can override individual personality traits.
这些研究引发了关于个人责任和情境力量的重要伦理与社会问题。它们也展示出情境因素如何能够超越个体性格特质。
8. Individual Differences: Understanding Phobias and Abnormality | 个体差异：理解恐惧症与异常行为
The individual differences approach looks at ways in which people differ from one another, particularly in terms of mental health. You will learn about definitions of abnormality, including statistical infrequency, deviation from social norms, and failure to function adequately. Phobias are a key topic, and you will study how classical conditioning can explain their development, as shown in Watson and Rayner’s (1920) ‘Little Albert’ study.
个体差异心理学视角关注人们彼此之间的差异，尤其是在心理健康方面。你将学习异常的定义，包括统计稀少、偏离社会规范和功能失常等标准。恐惧症是一个关键主题，你将学习经典条件作用如何解释其发展，正如Watson和Rayner（1920）的“小阿尔伯特”研究所展示的那样。
Treatments for phobias, such as systematic desensitisation and flooding, are also covered. This approach helps you understand the complexity of diagnosing and treating psychological disorders.
课程还会涉及恐惧症的治疗方法，如系统脱敏和暴露疗法。这一视角有助于你理解诊断和治疗心理障碍的复杂性。
9. Research Methods: The Scientific Toolkit | 研究方法：科学工具箱
Research methods form the backbone of psychology as a science. In Year 10 you will be introduced to experiments, observations, questionnaires, interviews, and case studies. You will learn the difference between independent and dependent variables, and between experimental and control conditions. Understanding operationalisation of variables and how to design a fair test is essential.
研究方法是心理学作为一门科学的支柱。在十年级，你将接触实验、观察、问卷、访谈和案例研究等方法。你将学习自变量与因变量、实验条件与控制条件之间的区别。理解变量的操作化以及如何设计公平的测试至关重要。
You will also be taught to interpret data, recognise ethical issues, and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of different methods. These analytical skills are highly valued both in the exam and in further study.
你还会学习如何解读数据、识别伦理问题，并评估不同方法的优缺点。这些分析技能在考试和后续学习中都非常受重视。
10. Ethical Guidelines: Protecting Participants | 伦理准则：保护参与者
Every psychological study must follow strict ethical guidelines to protect participants from harm. The British Psychological Society (BPS) sets out principles including informed consent, avoidance of deception (unless justified), the right to withdraw, confidentiality, and debriefing. You will discuss how classic studies sometimes breached modern ethical standards and how researchers today address these dilemmas.
