What is psychology?

Psychology is the scientific study of human mind and behaviour: how we think, how we act, how we react and interact, both individually and as groups.

Psychologists work in many different areas of society and are concerned with practical problems such as:

• Helping people to overcome depression, stress, trauma or phobias
• Easing the effects of parental divorce on children
• Speeding up recovery from brain injury
• Helping to stop or prevent bullying at school or in the workplace
• Ensuring that school pupils and students are being taught in the most effective way
• Making sure that people are happy at work and perform to the best of their abilities
• Helping the police, courts and prison service to perform more effectively
• Helping athletes and sports people to perform better
