Welcome to IB Psychology

Welcome to the first year of IB psychology at QSI-Bratislava!  We have a busy year ahead  as we begin to explore the world of psychology.  Psychology is an amazing subject as it explains every aspect of our lives - from our mental choices to our everyday behavior - it helps us to understand ourselves but also to explain the people around us.  Why is the world the way it is?  Psychology attempts to give us the answers and to understand that nothing happens without reason.
So this year we will be delving into several approaches to psychology: the behavioral, cognitive and sociocultural explanations of behavior.  But in order to fully make use of psychology we must also be able to analyze research and the methods used in this science. 
Long story short: you will learn a great deal, so be warned, you are about to enter an entirely new world.
