Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. It encompasses the examination of mental processes, emotions, cognition, and social interactions. Psychologists seek to understand how individuals think, feel, and act, often exploring the influence of biological, social, and environmental factors on behavior. The field includes various subdisciplines, such as clinical psychology, which focuses on diagnosing and treating mental disorders; developmental psychology, which examines human growth and changes across the lifespan; and cognitive psychology, which studies mental processes like perception, memory, and problem-solving. Psychology employs both qualitative and quantitative research methods to investigate and analyze mental functions and behaviors, aiming to enhance well-being, inform mental health practices, and improve interpersonal relationships.
