Description

The options have been chosen to provide continuity with the previous syllabus and to reflect developing fields in psychology.

There are five options.

Abnormal psychology
Developmental psychology
Health psychology
Psychology of human relationships
Sport psychology

Students at SL must study one option. Students at HL must study two options.

The study of the core (levels of analysis) provides a foundation and a broad overview of psychology, whereas the options allow students the opportunity to study a specialized area of psychology in depth (including empirical studies and theories), according to their own particular interests.

Teachers are advised to integrate the options with the study of the core (levels of analysis) wherever possible.
