Our Capstone field/discipline is about the scientific study of the human mind and behavior. In Psychology, one studies human cognitive functions and impairments, social behavior, health, personality, as well as human development. Research and studies are conducted in order to identify illnesses or disorders, diagnose, and develop successful treatments in those individuals. In other words, psychology focuses on three major factors when it comes to human beings and the why’s and how’s: biological, social, and environmental. There are countless career options in the field of psychology such as clinical psychologist, counseling psychologist, forensic psychologist, school psychologist, etc. Psychologists use naturalistic observation, lab instruments, archival records, psychometric tests, surveys, etc. in order for others to grasp the psychology of humans. |
