Psychology is both an academic and applied discipline concerned with the scientifi c study of mental processes and behavior.
Psychology seeks to explain thought, emotion and behaviour in the context of real life.

Psychologists study such phenomena as perception, cognition, emotion, personality, behavior, and interpersonal relationships.
Knowledge gained from such studies is then applied to various elements of human activity including issues relating to mental
health problems, self-help, performance enhancement and many other areas affecting health and daily life.

Apart from attempting to understand people’s elementary mental functions, psychology also attempts to determine the role these
functions play in social behavior and in social dynamics.
