Psychology

- an academic and applied discipline involving the scientific study of mental processes and behavior. Psychologists attempt to explain the mind and brain in the context of real life and study such phenomena as perception, cognition, emotion, personality, behavior, and interpersonal relationships. Psychology also refers to the application of such knowledge to various spheres of human activity, including issues related to daily life - e.g. family, education, and work and the treatment of mental health problems - Wikipedia.
