Why do people think and act as they do? The discipline of psychology seeks to answer this question, aiming for better understanding and application of this knowledge.
Inquiries in psychology include how we are influenced by others, why we become the persons that we are, how our brains work, our relationship with the environment, and why people sometimes behave in seemingly unusual or even bizarre ways. Students in Psychology learn various empirical tools to investigate the science of human mind and behaviour.
