What is Psychology?

  • Psychology explores the complexities of the human mind along with human emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. At its core, psychology investigates the evolutionary, social, cultural, and biological mechanisms behind how humans and animals navigate our world. From hormones to language, psychology offers insight into what makes us uniquely human. 

  • Psychologists study many interactions related to humans and living beings, whether those are the networks in the body or the relationships between humans. Along with that, psychologists study the external factors that affect these relationships and try to understand the outcomes of such exchanges.
