Psychology is the scientific study of behavior, thought, and emotion. Through its study, students learn what research has revealed about the principles that govern behavior in individuals and groups, humans and other animals, young and old. In the process, students also learn how psychological principles intrude upon, or can be applied in, everyday life.
