About Psychology
Psychology seeks the answers to a broad variety of questions regarding the behavior, thoughts, and emotions of individuals. These questions range from the biochemical basis of memory and the effects of stress on health to understanding the causes of emotional problems or such experiences as falling in love. These questions are studied by using scientific research techniques both in the laboratory and the "real" world. The answers are applied in fields such as business, the health sciences, law, education, counseling, and the design of useful and usable technologies.
