Psychology is the science of the mind and, as such, is concerned with people’s thoughts and behaviours; their emotions, attitudes, memories, perceptions and dreams. Although we cannot observe the mind directly, everything we do, think, feel and say is determined by the functioning of the mind. Psychologists are therefore able to use human behaviour as a clue to the workings of the mind, applying scientific methodologies to formulate theories, test hypotheses (through observation and experiment), and analyse the findings with statistical techniques.
