The aim of this unit is to enable learners to use psychology to explain individual behaviour. Learners will investigate topics and learn how these topics can be explained using psychological approaches and theories. Learners will also consider the strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches and theories investigated.
By the end of this course, you will be able to explain topics relating to individual behaviour.
