Etymologically, the word psychology comes from the Greek terms “psyche” and “logos”, which can be translated as “the science of the soul”

Psychology is science that studies the behavior and the human mind.

More specifically, psychology is a scientific approach to acquire knowledge through systematic and objective methods; psychologists study behavior – which refers to any action or reaction that can be measured or observed; psychologists study the mind – which refers to both conscious and unconscious mental states.
