Psychology (lit. "study of the soul" or "study of the mind") is an academic and applied discipline which involves the scientific study of human or animal mental functions and erotic sexual behaviors. In the field of psychology, a professional researcher or practitioner is called a [[psychologist]. Psychologists study such phenomena as perception, cognition, attention, emotion, motivation, personality, behavior and interpersonal relationships. Some, especially depth psychologists, also consider the unconscious mind. In addition or opposition to employing empirical methods, psychologists sometimes rely upon symbolic interpretation and [[critical theory|critical analysis]. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring the underlying physiological and neurological processes. Psychological knowledge is applied to various spheres of human activity including the family, education, employment, and to the treatment of mental health problems. Psychology includes many sub-fields that span areas as diverse as human development, sports, health, industry, media and law. Psychology incorporates research from the social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities. The word psychology is from Greek: ψυχή (psukhē: "breath", "spirit", "soul"); and -λογία (-logia: "study of"). From Wikipedia under the

Answered by Teenage Guru - Fri Jul 11 12:02:30 2008 How come there are no psychology questions in the psychology section? Q. I think 90% of the questions post in the psychology section has very little to do with psychology. Why is that? Asked by Noi S - Sun Mar 16 11:57:54 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. I suspect it may be that a lot of people have a very superficial idea of what psychology is. You will note that a lot of askers like to self-diagnose ("I'm ADD, OCD, depressed...") yet the rest of their question indicates they have no idea what they are talking about. Obviously the psychological knowledge of many is limited to having heard about Freud and a few of his words (without knowing what they mean or even the correct words for them) such as "Unconscious" and "subconscious." Others are simply using the site as if they are writing to Ann Landers for advice on their personal lives and relationships.

Q. I'm going to take Psychology BA first year in this year but i'm still pretty confused. Should I hv taken BSc in the first place? Asked by Vincent L - Sat Apr 12 22:38:22 2008 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments A. It depends on the specific curriculum at the specific college but generally; the BA in Psych is a general liberal arts degree with psychology as the major course of study. The BS is a general applied degree with psychology as the major course of study. The real difference will be that the BA will likely require foreign languages and possibly more liberal arts core. The BS will require research methods (how to "do" psychology research) and statistics (stats has prerequisite math courses). You determine the real difference at each college by comparing the course requirements in the specific catalog.
