Students are enabled to understand their own behaviours and the behaviours of others, as it has direct relevance to their personal lives. Psychological knowledge can be applied to improve outcomes and the quality of experience in various areas of life, such as education, relationships, child rearing, employment and leisure.
Psychology builds on the scientific method by involving students in the collection and analysis of data. By emphasising evidence- based procedures (i.e. observation, experimentation and experience) students develop useful skills in analytical and critical thinking and in making inferences.
