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.
