Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior. By examining both individual behaviors as well as the behavior of groups, psychologists work towards understanding human activity, treating mental disorders, and counselling people to help them achieve emotional stability.
Psychology as a discipline encompasses a wide range of studies including attention, perception, comprehension, emotions, intelligence, personality, relationships, behavior, and even the subconscious. They are working a lot on in our minds and psychologists are dedicated to understanding every bit.
In terms of research, psychology holds an interesting place among st other fields. Psychology is concerned with social behavior, so in many ways it is related to the social sciences and humanities, like anthropology and philosophy. They use many similar research techniques as these disciplines, including interviews and observing behavior.
Psychology relies on a very scientific method, they are using carefully designed experiments to produce reliable data about behavior, emotions, or brain chemistry. Through years of observations and experiments, they have determined ways to test for emotional stability or mental illness and have developed counselling techniques to encourage mental development, ease emotional pain, or promote healthy behavior.
