Psychology is the science of people's thoughts, feelings, behaviors and interactions with others. We study the human development phases, working life, health, the environment, substance abuse, consciousness, the judicial system and much more. Our overall goal is that our research and our education should promote human development and health and contribute to good living and working environments.
