What is Psychology?

 

Psychology is the science of behavior. Although there are many specialty areas in psychology, all psychologists have one thing in common - an interest in behavior. They want to understand how people and other organisms develop, learn, think, feel, act, and relate to each other. Psychology may be defined as the scientific study of behavior and mental processes and how an organism's physical state, mental state, and external environment affect them.
