6ix god Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I have to select my courses for IB soon (in 6 days). I have to decide between History HL and Psychology HL. Right now I'm leaning towards History HL, but I'm afraid I'll lose interest. I find Psychology and History equally as interesting currently. Do you guys find Psychology HL interesting?

AnastasiaVr Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Absolutely! It's my favourite subject actually The syllabus contains 3 levels of analysis: the biological where you learn how your neurotransmitters, hormones and brain parts affect your behavior, the cognitive in which you examine how your experiences affect your behavior and the sociocultural which i think is the most exciting level, where you see how society and culture, stereotypes for example, affect the way you behave! Also, depending on which options you will do, you have the opportunity to learn amazing stuff like causes of depression, how to handle stress, bulimia, obesity and many many more! Overall, i believe that if you are interested in this kind of topics you will perform great since it's a relatively easy subject to score well! However, be prepared for a lot of essay writing.

Lynxarin Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I think Psychology is one of the most interesting subjects that I study. On top of that, it is fairly easy as the difference between SL and HL is in my opinion quite small. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunemori Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yes, definitely. I think it's quite a broad syllabus, also. I take both History and Psychology at HL and I think that Psychology is slightly easier, content wise. Of course, that'll vary from me to you, but whatever you choose I hope you enjoy it.
