Psychology is the scientific study of human or other animal mental functions and behaviors. In this field, a professional practitioner or researcher is called a psychologist. Psychologists are classified as social or behavioral scientists. Psychological research can be considered either basic or applied. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring underlying physiological and neurological processes.

Basic research in psychology includes perception, cognition, attention, emotion, motivation, brain functioning, personality, behavior, and interpersonal relationships. Some, especially depth psychologists, also consider the unconscious mind. Psychologists employ empirical methods to determine causal and correlational relationships between psychosocial variables. In addition, or in opposition, to employing empirical and deductive methods, clinical psychologists sometimes rely upon symbolic interpretation and other inductive techniques.

While psychological knowledge is typically applied to the assessment and treatment of mental health problems, it is also applied to understanding and solving problems in many different spheres of human activity. The vast majority of psychologists are involved in clinical, counseling, and school positions, some are employed in the industrial and organizational setting, and other areas such as human development and aging, sports, health, the media, legal, and forensics. Psychology incorporates research from the social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities.

Psychological?
Q. Why is it that strangers do not like to look in other strangers eyes? I saw someone looking at me and when I looked at them there eyes darted to another direction. What makes us do that?

A. There's an old saying "The eyes are the gateway to the soul." Many people do not, from my experiences, like eye contact cause they are either shy or are hiding something. To me, eye contact is the most important skill one could have in the world. And, sometimes, people feel threatened by others who initiate and maintain eye contact.

What are some psychological characteristics of type 1 diabetes?
Q. Hi. Are there any psychological characters of type 1 diabetes? So far I have : Higher risk for eating disorders, depression, and dementia/ What am I missing?
Asked by ghetto momma bear - Sun Apr 5 17:03:34 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Even though type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, I guess quality of life could be decreased in some people who have it. A major diagnosis that is going to affect you for the rest of your life frequently causes depression - both at the time of diagnosis and throughout your life due to dealing with the constant monitoring and care that type 1 diabetes requires. I recently read a nursing journal article that young females with type one diabetes are at higher risk for anorexia nervosa due to the strict adherence of a 'diabetic diet' and it discussed insulin omission with this. I haven't heard about the dementia one though - hope you're not right there!
