About Psychology
Psychology is the science of the mind and behavior. The word "psychology" comes from the Greek word psyche meaning "breathe, spirit, soul", and the Greek word logia meaning the study of something. For a psychologist, human behavior is used as evidence (or an indication) of how the mind functions. We are unable to observe the mind directly; however, the functioning of our minds influences virtually all our actions, feelings and thoughts. That is why human behavior is used as raw data for testing psychological theories on how the mind functions.
