Psychology (from Greek ψῡχή , psȳkhē , "breath, life, soul"; and -λογία , -logia ) is an academic and applied discipline involving the scientific study of mental processes and behavior . Psychologists study such phenomena as perception , cognition , emotion , personality , behavior , and interpersonal relationships . Psychology also refers to the application of such knowledge to various spheres of human activity , including issues related to everyday life (e.g. family, education , and employment) and the treatment of mental health problems. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of these functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring the underlying physiological and neurological processes. Psychology includes many sub-fields of study and application concerned with such areas as human development , sports , health , industry , media , and law . |

Psychology is a collection of academic, clinical and industrial disciplines concerned with the hows and whys of behavior, thought-processes, emotions, motivations, relationships, potentials and pathologies. It might be said that many related disciplines live under the same name including: experimental psychology , which focuses on basic and applied science; humanistic psychology , which uses qualitative research rather than conventional statistical methods to investigate the subjective experience of human beings; clinical psychology and counselling psychology , which focus primarily on helping people overcome or better manage pathologies as well as transcend perceived limitations; and Industrial/Organizational Psychology , which applies psychological principles to people working in organizations. |

Psychology is an applied discipline and applied profession concerned with the study of and intervention in mental states, processes, and behavioral patterns of humans and, to an extent, of animals (though the study of animal behavior, ethology , is more often regarded a branch of biology than of psychology). Psychologists also study interactions between individuals and groups of individuals, and between individuals, groups and their environment. Disciplines that are traditionally considered to intersect with psychology are sociology , anthropology , biology , and philosophy , but more recently fields such as neuroscience , political science , media studies and gender studies have also come to be seen as closely related to psychology. |
