Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. It involves the examination of mental processes, emotional responses, and social interactions. Psychology seeks to understand how individuals think, feel, and act both individually and in groups, and it explores the underlying psychological mechanisms that influence behavior. The discipline draws on various research methods and theories, integrating knowledge from biology, sociology, anthropology, and other fields to address questions about cognition, personality, development, and mental health. Psychologists work in diverse areas such as clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology, and organizational psychology, among others. The ultimate goal of psychology is to gain insights that can improve individual well-being and societal functioning.
