Key Summary
Psychology is a discipline examining many topics related to human emotions such as fear, love, hate, and human behaviors such as murder and heroism, and also cognitive processes such as language and creativity. It also investigates the relationship between all these and the human body and brain using scientific methods in very creative and interesting ways.
Behavior researchers use scientific methods in their studies. They use a bio-psycho-sociocultural perspective to study human problems. There are many applied areas in psychology such as clinical psychology, school psychology, health psychology, and industrial and organizational psychology. By holding of any graduate degree in different subareas in psychology, they become a specialist.
