How deep is psychology?

When it comes to psychology, everyone has their own thoughts and concepts, in the eyes of some people, psychology is a very mysterious subject, thinking that people who have studied psychology will see what others are thinking, will have insight into other people's emotions, or think that psychologists are similar to face-to-face, fortune-tellers, and can know a person's past and present life with a few simple words. It should be said that these are all misunderstandings of psychology. So, what is psychology?

The word psychology comes from the ancient Greek word for "the science of the soul", and the soul means gas or breath in Greek, because ancient people believed that life depended on breathing, and when breathing stopped, life was over. With the development of science, the object of psychology changed from the soul to the mind. In Chinese, we are accustomed to calling thoughts and feelings "heart" and rules and rules "li".

Psychology is the general term for thoughts, thoughts, and feelings, while psychology is the study of the laws of thoughts, thoughts, and feelings. In other words, psychology is a science that studies people's mental activities and the laws of their occurrence and development. Psychology is intimately related to our lives.

This is because any activity of a person is accompanied by psychological phenomena. Feelings, perceptions, memories, thinking, imagination, emotions, will, and personality traits are all psychological phenomena, also known as mental activities. In a highly developed human society, the human psyche has been fully developed, enabling humans to climb to the top of the animal evolutionary ladder.

Psychology is a discipline that is both old and young. To say that it is ancient refers to the fact that human beings have explored their own psychological phenomena for more than 2,000 years. To say that it is young means that psychology was originally included in philosophy and was not an independent discipline until the end of the 70s of the 19th century, when psychology was separated from philosophy and became an independent science specializing in the study of human psychological phenomena.

Although psychology is young, scientific psychology has great vitality.

Wrong mess, the definition of psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. Psychology originated in philosophy and later became a rigorous discipline in its own right. The four goals of psychology are:

Describe, explain, ** and change behavior with the mental process. Famous psychologists in history include Sigmund Freud, Jung, etc. These pioneers have devoted their lives to the study of this discipline, and we should all be moved by their perseverance and rigor.

As a latecomer, I deeply feel that psychology is broad and bottomless. On the basis of general psychology, there are behavioral psychology, cognitive psychology, Gestalt psychology, and the most famous psychoanalytic school. In practical application, there are criminal psychology, consumer psychology, national defense psychology, educational psychology, etc.

Psychology encapsulates almost every area of our lives. The upstairs bar psychology is called mind reading, but in fact, he doesn't understand psychology at all, and he is a subjective assumption about unfamiliar things, which is wrong. I advise you not to comment on specific things without knowing anything.

Psychology is actually mind reading.

Psychology is the study of human mental activities, including human feelings, thinking, emotions, behavior, individual differences, and social interactions. It is both a natural science and a social science. Methods of psychological research include experiments, questionnaires, cavity observations, and interviews.

Psychology has a wide range of applications, including education, health, work, relationships, and more.

Psychology is a science that studies human psychological phenomena and their mental functions and behavioral activities under their influence, taking into account the outstanding theoretical and applied (practical) nature.

Psychology is the study of behavior and mental activity. At the end of the 19th century, psychology became an independent discipline, and by the middle of the 20th century, psychology had a relatively uniform definition. Psychology, as a science, began in 1879 when the German scholar Wundt, under the influence of natural science, established a psychological laboratory and became an independent discipline from speculative philosophy.

In 1879, the German scholar Wundt, influenced by the natural sciences, established the first psychological laboratory at the University of Leipzig, marking the birth of scientific psychology.

From the perspective of the theme of the occurrence of psychological phenomena, human beings are the unity of natural and social attributes; From the perspective of the organs produced by psychological phenomena, the inherent natural attributes of the human brain are changed and developed under the influence of people's social lifestyles, and their skills are also the same as nature and society. From the point of view of the content of psychological phenomena, the objective reality reflected by people is the identity of the existence of the social enlightenment association and the natural reality; From the perspective of the form of psychological phenomena, human psychology is a product of society and nature, and the scientific proposition that "psychology is the brain's reflection of objective reality" itself contains the unity of nature and society.

You can get access to it when you go to university.

The object of study in psychology is psychological phenomena. That is, spiritual phenomena that we are very familiar with and that we will come into contact with and feel at any time. Also known as mental activity, referred to as psychology.

1. Divide from the dynamic dimension of psychology.

1) Mental processes refer to the dynamic processes of a person's psychological phenomena. It includes epistemic processes, emotional processes, and volitional processes, reflecting the common side of normal individual psychological phenomena.

The cognitive process is the cognitive process, which is the psychological process of receiving, encoding, storing, extracting and applying cognitive information in practical activities. It mainly includes perception, thinking, memory, etc.

Affective processes are the experience of an individual's attitude towards things in a practical activity.

The volitional process is a mental process in which an individual consciously determines a goal, adjusts and governs his actions according to the goal, overcomes difficulties, and achieves a predetermined goal.

The above three processes are not isolated from each other, but are interrelated and interact with each other to form three different aspects of the psychological process of the organic unity of the individual.

2) Personality psychology is the sum total of various psychological phenomena that are relatively stable formed in the practice of social life. Including personality tendencies, personality characteristics and personality regulation, etc., reflecting the individual side of human psychological phenomena.

Personality tendencies are the dynamical system that drives people to carry out activities. It reflects people's tendencies and pursuits for the world around them. It mainly includes needs, motivations, interests, ideals, beliefs, values, and worldviews, among others.

Personality traits are intrinsic, stable psychological traits that are often manifested in an individual. It mainly includes temperament, character, and abilities.

2. Divide from the dimension of psychological consciousness.

1) Consciousness refers to a mental phenomenon that is currently being perceived by an individual. For example, when we carry out memory activities, we can be aware of the purpose of memory activities, the objects of memory, the memory methods used, the memory effects achieved, and even be aware of our own memory characteristics, change memory strategies, etc., and such memory activities are in a state of consciousness. From the object of consciousness, it can be divided into:

Object consciousness refers to an individual's awareness of the world around him.

Self-awareness, which refers to an individual's awareness of themselves and their relationships with their surroundings.

In memory psychology, the former is a memory phenomenon, and the latter is a metamemory phenomenon.

2) The unconscious refers to a mental phenomenon that is not currently perceived by the individual. Taking memory as an example, sometimes we don't have the purpose of remembering something, and we don't think about remembering it, but we remember it unconsciously, and even very strongly. Sometimes I don't know what I got from ** and whether I have a memory of something.

In memory psychology, the former is unconscious memory and the latter is implicit memory.

It should be said that it is very complicated, and there are really not many people who can fully understand it.

Every discipline has not been explored, let alone human nature...

Which major is studied in depth, it is a very profound knowledge.
