Mind Map
Scientific study of behavior and mental processes. The definition
of the study of psychology is straightforward but difficult to
understand. In fact, psychology is about scope. But does psychology
study more detailed material such as physical and mental health,
perception, dreaming and motivation?
Furthermore, psychology accepts a broad and open perspective.
The scope of psychology is not only behavior and mental health but also
understanding thoughts, feelings, reasoning processes, memories and
biological activities that pay attention to their bodies.
For a psychologist, simply describing feelings is not enough. then
the psychologist solves clearly, predictably, modifies, and improves
people's lives from the place where they live and their environment.
Psychologists get answers with the scientific method to questions
about human behavior and thought processes that are more valid based
on intuition and speculation.
The question made is a description of the topic to be discussed.
Therefore psychologists do not only study humans but animals. To
determine the laws of behavior between two organisms. Therefore
research on this is very applicable to everyday problem solving
