Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behaviour.
Psychologists are interested in why people behave in the ways that they do. This includes studying attitudes and social influences, individual differences, remembering and forgetting, the social and intellectual development of children, the psychology of atypical behaviour, biological approaches and the research methods needed to investigate human behaviour and mental processes.
