What I thought Psychology was, was the way people react and act to others in everyday life. It helps study the things we do with our dreams or just why we do the things we do. While I was reading the prologue I found out that scientists define psychology as the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. In the definition it has multiple things that deal with it. One of the things it deals with is behavior. Behavior is anything an organism does and any action we can observe from it. The mental preocesses are the internal, subjective experiences we infer from behavior, like our thoughts, dreams, beliefs and feelings.
I think Psychology affects my life in many ways. Like i said before it is all around us and we can't get away from it. Psychology deals with how my feelings are and why I act that way, and they can be recorded or copied by someone else that sees me doing things. For example because I am a Senior the way I dress might want a 5th grades to dress just like me. The behavior part is in effect and that 5th grader just proved that how we grow up and watch others is how we will or might grow up as well.
One thing that I have learnt is how Psychology is really all around us. Even if it is by what effect we have on others. It's important to know that what we do or how we act can affect the way a person grows up and becomes. I also learnt how it all started. By Wilhlem Wundy a German and then by others later. It is important to know where it all started because it is our lives and we finially found out why we act the way we do and we can relate to more people more.
