What is Psychology?
Psychology is the study of mind and behaviour. It is made up of many different topics. Perhaps a more helpful way of revealing the nature of psychology is to list some of the questions Psychologists have tried to answer:
- Why do we forget?
- Why do people become prejudiced against others?
- What makes people aggressive?
- How does the brain make sense of information from the eye?
- What are the developmental milestones of childhood?
