Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. It explores a range of cognitive, emotional, and social processes, examining how individuals think, feel, and act both individually and in groups. Psychology seeks to understand mental functions such as perception, memory, reasoning, and decision-making, as well as emotional responses and social interactions. The field is divided into various sub-disciplines, including clinical psychology, developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, behavioral psychology, and social psychology, among others. Psychologists use empirical research methods to gather data and develop theories, applying their findings in practical settings such as therapy, education, health, and organizational contexts. The ultimate goal of psychology is to better understand human behavior and mental processes, contributing to the enhancement of individual well-being and the improvement of societal conditions.
