Psychology

Course summary

Psychology is the science of behaviour and experience. Studying behaviour involves focusing on what people (and other animals) actually do. Behaviour includes thinking, remembering and forgetting, growing up, being kind or aggressive, obeying or disobeying orders, being a parent, etc. In studying experience, psychologists are interested in what it is like to be the person exhibiting the behaviour: how it feels to be them and why they behave as they do.
