According to APA, psychology is the scientific
study of the mind and behaviour or you can
also say that it is the study of the mind,
how it works, and how it affects behaviour.
It encompasses the biological influences,
social pressures, and environmental factors
that affect how people think to act, and feel.
For example, climate change may affect the person mood which in turn impacts the behaviour
of that person.
Psychology is a multifaceted discipline and includes many sub-fields of
study such areas as human development, sports,
health, clinical, social behaviour and cognitive
processes.
Gaining a richer and deeper understanding of psychology can help people achieve insights
into their own actions as well as a better
understanding of other people.
