This is an article from Encyclopedia Brittanica that gives a background on psychology. I learned:
- Psychology is studing how and why humans think and behave
- Psychology has many different smaller sections of specific fields of study
- Social Psychology: why and how people think in behave from a social viewpoint
- Physiological Psychology: studying thought processes and actions based on neurology
- Comparative Psychology: comparing the psychology of different species
- Abnormal psychology: the study of actions and thoughts that are not typical
- Many different types of psychology relate to each other and include even smaller subtopics
- What is neurology? How does it relate to physiological psychology?
- What does abnormal psychology study about irregular behavior? What has been discovered about it so far?
