Psychology is a science, an academic and applied discipline that involves the scientific study of human or animal mental functions and behaviors. In this field, a professional practitioner or researcher is called a psychologist. Psychologists are classified as social or behavioral scientists. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behaviour, while also exploring underlying physiological and neurological processes.
Psychological knowledge is applied to various spheres of human activity, including the family, education, employment, and the treatment of mental health problems. Psychology incorporates research from the social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities.
