5. Psychology is an academic and applied discipline that seeks to understand the behavior, mental functions, and emotional processes of human beings. Psychologists explore how mental and emotional factors influence individual development and behavior, and how these factors themselves can be influenced by physiological and biological processes. Clinical psychologists focus on the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness; they usually work directly with clients using various forms of therapeutic treatment. Research psychologists use scientific methods to explore a wide range of topics related to mental health and behavior. Defining Psychology Free to share, print, make copies and changes.

6. The scientific method is a process of developing and testing theories, which may be used in conceptualizing problems. A hypothesis, in turn, is a testable prediction that is arrived at logically from a theory. There are several types of studies that follow the scientific method—experiments, descriptive studies, case studies, surveys, and non-descriptive studies. Critical thinking is a key component of the scientific method. Without it, you cannot use logic to come to conclusions.

7. There are a variety of subfields within the discipline of psychological study, including behavioral, clinical, cognitive, developmental, educational, social, forensic, evolutionary, and industrial/organizational psychology. These various subfields differ in many ways, including in their subjects (individuals or groups), their environments (at home, at work, or in a clinical setting), and their orientations (more or less research-driven). Although all of these subfields are connected by the general goal of learning more about human beings, each attempts to look at different aspects of human life and thought processes.
