Psychology

Psychologists explore such
concepts as perception, cognition, attention, emotion, phenomenology,
motivation, brain functioning, personality, behavior, and interpersonal relationships.
Psychologists of diverse stripes also consider the unconscious mind.
Psychologists employ empirical methods to infer causal and correlational
relationships between psychosocial variables. In addition, or in opposition, to
employing empirical and deductive methods, some—especially clinical and
counseling psychologists—at times rely upon symbolic interpretation and other
inductive techniques. Psychology incorporates research from the social and
natural sciences, and from the humanities, such as philosophy.
While psychological knowledge is
often applied to the assessment and treatment of mental health problems, it is
also applied to understanding and solving problems in many different spheres of
human activity. The majority of psychologists are involved in some kind of
therapeutic role, practicing in clinical, counseling, or school settings. Many
do scientific research on a wide range of topics related to mental processes
and behavior, and typically work in university psychology departments or teach
in other academic settings. Some are employed in industrial and organizational
settings, or in other areas such as human development and aging, sports,
health, and the media, as well as in forensic analysis and other aspects of
law.
