All You Need to Know About Psychology

By
Psychology is the studying of human behaviour and mind. The complexity of the human brain and the way it works makes it difficult for individuals to understand the reasons why people behave the way they do. Why do different people react differently in identical situations? Why do people display irrational behaviour under certain circumstances? It is safe to say that many would be intrigued by this subject at one point or another.

Why Study Psychology?


Psychology is more than just simply reading and understanding human minds. Besides satisfying our curiosity and providing answers to the questions that we may have on human behaviour, Psychology is also being used in many important aspects of our daily lives. In fact, there are many different fields of Psychology such as Social Psychology, Clinical Psychology and Occupational Psychology.

Social Psychology


Social Psychology studies how people’s minds and behaviour can be influenced through social interactions or even by just the mere presence of other individuals. It studies the differences between individual behaviour and collective behaviour. Social Psychologists are interested in how individuals shape the society and how the society, in turn, shape individuals.

Clinical Psychology


Clinical Psychology focuses on diagnosing psychological problems leading to mental, behavioural and emotional disorders. Depression, learning disabilities and anxiety are examples of the more common disorders, and Clinical Psychologists aim to find or improve treatment methods for such disorders through their research.

Occupational Psychology


Occupational Psychology applies psychological knowledge to organisational settings and aims to maximise employees’ work performances as well as job satisfaction in their workplaces. With findings done by Occupational Psychologists, organisations will be able to improve job designs and motivation schemes to ensure high levels of employee satisfaction.
