About

Psychology is the study of human behavior and mental processes. Psychology has three facets: it is a discipline; a major subject of study in colleges and universities, a science; a method of conducting research and of understanding behavioral data, and a profession; a calling that requires one to apply special knowledge, abilities, and skills to solve human problems.
