Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. It is a discipline
which has its roots in philosophy and is highly related to the disciplines of sociology,
anthropology, physiology, and biology. Psychologists study and perform research
involving such basic processes as perception, motivation, learning, memory, cognition,
and physiology. They also study and treat the development and adjustment of the
individual to the environment and social situation. Psychology is a diverse science with
many different areas of specialization. Some of these areas are clinical, social,
developmental, experimental, and educational psychology. Psychology also includes
personality studies as well as family and individual counseling. A degree in psychology
can lead into a career in psychological analysis, education, counseling, social work, or
clinical research. The application of psychology can truly help solve problems in the
real world.
