Introduction

Psychology is all around us. It is all about understanding human beings^ what makes us tock, and why we do what we do. Human beings shape most of the experiences in our lives; whether that is at home, at school, at work or during our leisure time. And some ways everyone is a kind of psychologist. We are applying psychology all the time: when we have a conversation with someone else; when we decide that a particular way of dressing is‖ right‖ for us; or when we make a decision which we know will affect the other people around us.

Psychologists are interested in learning about the human mind but they know how easy it is to be misled into being certain about things which are not really true. So psychology involves a lot of very careful investigation and a lot of checking and looking at things in different ways, to make certain we are sure of what we are saying. That investigation has to happen very systematically and in a scientific manner.

Psychologists investigate psychological process, such as how we acquire language, or how we remember things. They investigate human experiences, such as play or obedience to other people. They also develop psychological models – explanations for why things happen or how a psychological process occurs – which can help us to understand what is going on. Psychologist investigate many different aspects of human experience and psychological studies can range from exploring the factors that will help someone to survive in a disaster, to investigating how we learn to read.
