What is psychology?
Psychology is an academic discipline that involves the scientific study
of mental functions and behaviors. Psychology has the immediate goal of
understanding individuals and groups by both establishing general principles
and researching specific cases,and by many accounts it ultimately aims to
benefit society.
In this field, a professional practitioner or researcher is called a
psychologist, and can be classified as a social, behavioral, or cognitive
scientist. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in
individual and social behavior.
