How Psychology Works: Applied Psychology Visually Explained
Lying at the intersection of a number of disciplines, including
biology, philosophy, sociology, medicine, anthropology, and artificial
intelligence, psychology has always fascinated people. How do
psychologists interpret human behavior to understand why we
do what do? Why are there so many branches and approaches, and
how do they work in a practical sense in our day-to-day lives? Is
psychology an art or a science, or a fusion of both?
While theories come and go out of fashion—and new studies,
experiments, and research are conducted all the time—the essence of
psychology is to explain the behavior of individuals based on the
workings of the mind. In these often turbulent and uncertain times,
people are increasingly looking to psychology and psychologists to
help them make sense of why the powerful and influential behave the
way that they do, and the resulting impact that might have on us. But
psychology also has huge relevance to those much closer to us than
politicians, celebrities, or business magnates—it tells us a great deal
about our own families, friends, partners, and work colleagues. It also
resonates a great deal in understanding our own minds, leading to a
greater self-awareness of our own thoughts and behaviors.
As well as offering us a basic understanding of all the various
theories, disorders, and therapies that form part of this ever-changing
field of study, psychology plays a huge role in our everyday lives.
Whether it is in education, the workplace, sports, or our personal and
intimate relationships—and even the way that we spend our money or
how we vote—there is a branch of psychology that impacts every
single one of us in our daily lives on a constant and continued basis.
