I go through many contexts saying Psychology is a "Study of Mental Life", " Science of Behaviour", "Science of the Soul", " Science of the mind", "Science of the mind and behaviour", "Science of the consciousness". Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behaviour. The word “psychology” derived from the Greek words “psyche,” meaning life, and “logos,” meaning explanation or study.
But I wish to say Psychology is a "Science of the force of Genetical, social, ecological, physiological on behaviour and mind". It is a cognitive way of approach how these various stimuli influence the nature of an individual's behaviour as behaviours and attitudes are the changing factors accordingly to any environment. These stimuli determine the wellness of the mind and related social & physical health.
The attitude and behaviour of people in various geographical locations vary, within a generation they vary between families and within a family person to person they vary according to their physiological, social impact and past or present outside forces that are influenced in their life.
Many times genetic and physical disorders or progress develop variations in human behaviours. Perhaps, there is a correlation between physiological changes and mental behaviour. Various chemicals in the body like peptides, acids, hormones, proteins and the seven “small molecule” neurotransmitters (acetylcholine, dopamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamate, histamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin) play a vital role in brain functions as well as behaviours.
In a backward or ignorant society, psychology is considered to be only for the treatment of mental health and it is the work of psychologists or psychiatrists. In fact, in most and most part it is the obvious one as psychology is mostly used in therapy, counseling, motor-cognitive skills analysis, and in forensic research technologies.
But in today's modern World, psychology plays an important role in human resource development and human resource activities with various personality indices and traits related to individual behaviors in personal and social life. A study of inter-personal and intra-personal conflicts in various aspects and relationships in society provides a clear vicinity to a remarkable benchmark in employment and personal life. To some extent, even animal psychology resembles human psychology, in most aspects human psychology differs in emotional, spiritual, charismatic, and cognitive senses which interconnects our feelings, mind, life, and body. We call it the SOUL.
Our memories stored, our learning, our thought processes, our feelings, and our quest to respond to the stimuli which embrace our emotions are building the blocks to our internal psychological construction whether it is a positive or negative, active or passive or active and extrovert or introvert. But today's psychometric analysis and the questionnaires in human resources are framed with common parameters to various segments of people from a various geographical or racial or ethnic background which I feel it will not comprehend to the expected results or propositions.
Many psychologists are doing analyses such as and drug addiction, memory, emotion, hypnosis, love, conflicts in marriage life what makes people aggressive or helpful, and the psychologies of politics, prejudice, culture, and religion. We either knowingly or unknowingly commit an unconscious action toward a problem or to a stimulus with an inducing of memory stored in our brain. This is called "Behavior".
Psychology is an essential subject that needs to be understood at least the basic ideas of human behaviours by all kinds of people so that there could be some understanding on human relationships or conflict solution with new ways of thinking about your own thoughts, feelings, and actions.
