What is Psychology

Psychology is the study of cognitions, emotions, and behavior. Psychologists are involved in a variety of tasks. Many spend their careers designing and performing research to better understand how people behave in specific situations, how and why we think the way we do, and how emotions develop and what impact they have on our interactions with others. These are the research psychologists who often work in research organizations or universities. Industrial-organizational psychologists work with businesses and organizations to help them become more productive, effective, and efficient, and to assist them in working with their employees and their customers. Practitioners, typically counseling and clinical psychologists, work with individuals, couples, families, and small groups to help them feel less depressed, less anxious, become more productive or motivated, and overcome issues which prevent them from living up to their potential.

The study of psychology has five basic goals:


1. Describe -- The first goal is to observe behavior and describe, often in minute detail, what was observed as objectively as possible


2. Explain -- While descriptions come from observable data, psychologists must go beyond what is obvious and explain their observations. In other words, why did the subject do what he or she did?


3. Predict -- Once we know what happens, and why it happens, we can begin to speculate what will happen in the future. There's an old saying, which very often holds true: "the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior."
