Psychology is the scientific study of the mind, human learning, communication, memory, thought, and emotion. Through analysing the interplay between biological, environmental, social, and cultural influences on human behaviour it helps us understand what makes people tick. It is a thriving academic discipline as well as a professional field, bringing research and theory in applied settings. It helps to shape our understanding of how the mind influences language, thinking, and behaviour, with the further aim of creating interventions that positively impact people’s lives.
