Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. It encompasses various aspects of human experience, including thoughts, emotions, actions, and social interactions. Psychologists seek to understand how individuals perceive, think, feel, and interact with one another, as well as how these processes are influenced by biological, social, and environmental factors. The field employs various research methods, including experiments, observations, and surveys, to gather data and test hypotheses. Psychology is divided into numerous subfields, such as clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology, and neuropsychology, each focusing on different aspects of mental functions and behaviors. The ultimate goal of psychology is to understand and improve mental health and well-being, offering insights that can inform treatment, education, and policy.
