Ringkasan program

Psychology is the study of human thought and behavior. Its goal is to contribute to human welfare by developing an understanding of why people do what they do. Psychologists study the entire range of human experience, from infancy until death, from the most abnormal behavior to the most mundane, from the behavior of neurons to the actions of societies and nations. The field of psychology is split between experimental psychologists for whom science comes first and clinical/counseling psychologists who employ a wider variety of approaches to the study of the mind. While clinical and counseling psychology comprise a large and important part of the field, there are also a large number of experimental psychologists who employ scientific methods to study basic cognitive, social, and developmental processes and their applications to a wide variety of fields such as public health and safety, law, business, education, public policy, criminal justice, and environmental issues.
