Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. It encompasses various subfields that explore cognitive processes, emotional responses, social interactions, and developmental changes in individuals. Psychology seeks to understand how people think, feel, and act, both individually and in groups. It employs a range of research methods, including experiments, observations, and clinical studies, to gather data about human behavior and mental processes. Psychologists aim to apply this knowledge to help solve problems related to mental health, education, and interpersonal relationships, among other areas. The discipline also examines the influence of biological, environmental, and social factors on behavior and mental functions, making it a broad and interdisciplinary field that can intersect with areas such as neuroscience, sociology, and anthropology.
