Addiction (AQA Psychology) - Full Topic Notes & Glossary

For AQA Psychology A Level - Paper 3 - Addiction

Full Topic Notes - all the key AO1 / AO3 content you need to know.
Glossary - definitions of all key terms.

As a teacher of over 10 years at an outstanding school, I have examined and tutored. I have spent this time compiling exactly the resources students need to excel in their exams and want to pass these one to you. Whether you are a teacher or student these will help you get ready for the exams.

There is a lot of content to learn in Psychology and it can be difficult to know what important and which evaluation points to use. I’ve done the hard work for you and created this resource to help you know what to learn for this topic.

Full notes: This document contains all of the study notes needed for the topic. If you learn this, you have everything you need to answer any questions, they may set you on this section of the exam. All of the evaluation has been split up into easy chunks, I’ve made it clear by chunking it up into:

A point - the point you are making
Evidence - the study or example to support you
Elaboration – how to explain your point in more detail
Evaluation - a further strength or weakness to help you hit the really hight A/A* grades by showing sustained evaluation.

Throughout I’ve highlighted all the key studies in Blue, so they are easy to spot. These correspond easily with the Key Study Cards and Key Study List (which you can also buy on here) to help you learn all of those pieces of research. I’ve also highlighted the key terms throughout making it easy to ensure you can define all of the key terms on the specification.

Glossary of Key Terms: This is a list of all the key terms for this unit, there are two lists – a blank one for you to fill in as you learn / revise the topic, and a completed one with definitions for each term that you can check your answers against or use to help you understand the language in the Full Notes.
