What is Psychology?

Psychology is the scientific study of human and animal mental functions and behavior. A person who professionally practices psychology is called a psychologist. The word psychology means "the study of the soul" in ancient Greek. The German physician Wilhelm Wundt is known because he founded the first psychological laboratory. He is credited to set up psychology as a new science. I think we should study psychology because it helps us understand why people react as they do. And it will help understand ourselves and others around us.  http://www.psychology.org/
