Definition of Psychology
Psychology is known to be the study of the mind, behavior, and human experience. From our temporary thoughts and dreams to our feeling of consciousness, which includes our decisions, personalities, and social interactions, this involves the mental processes we go through. It looks into how our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are influenced by biological variables including brain chemistry and genetic predispositions, as well as social pressures and environmental influences.
