Unit 1- Introduction to Psychology
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. It seeks to understand how people think, feel, and act both individually and in groups. By exploring cognitive processes, emotions, and social interactions, psychology aims to uncover patterns and principles that govern human behavior. This field encompasses various sub-disciplines, including clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, and social psychology, among others. Psychologists employ research methods like experiments, observations, and surveys to gather data and apply their findings to improve mental health, enhance learning, and address social challenges.
