What to Focus On

  • Psychology is systematic and scientific.
  • It studies mental processes, experiences, and behaviours.
  • Psyche means spirit or soul.

  • Psychology has three components: experience, behaviour, and mental processes.
  • Experience is personal and private.
  • Mental processes are not directly observed; they are inferred.

  • Psychology studies biological, social, and mental aspects of behaviour.
  • The nervous system is important in understanding behaviour.
  • Hormones and neurotransmitters influence behaviour.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Psychology is only the study of the mind or only the study of behaviour.

Mental processes can be directly seen in the same way as behaviour.

Psychology in India began with Wilhelm Wundt in 1879.
